If you've ever been frustrated by a decision that appeared dramatic but still didn't address the actual problem, it was likely due to this attribute at play. The trick is to make it easier (or no more difficult) to address the actual root cause, than it is to make a show of solving the problem. I believe councillors can influence council decisionmaking in this direction. Please vote for candidates who would be willing to take on the hard mahi of fighting against this tendency.
