For we must consider that we shall be as a city upon a hill. The eyes of all people are upon us.

Governor John Winthrop founded the City of Boston on this day, Sept. 17, 1630.
The top of said hill was promptly lopped off and turned into the Back Bay. Government takeover of landfill and etc…, but at least the gambit ultimately paid off handsomely and benefits the very, very rich. So: win/win.
