Patch idea: City improvements have negative effect

I can't imagine an example of "negative" culture. Could somebody clarify how culture could be reduced?

There's all sorts of examples. For instance, the Nazis burning books in huge bonfires, because they were considered racially impure. The Chinese Cultural Revolution, where many artists and intellectuals were executed or imprisoned for expressing values other than those held by the state. Even the McCarthy hearings in the US during the fifties. Many artistic types were blacklisted and unable to pursue their crafts. You don't have to go to far to find examples where a nation's culture was suppressed because it didn't always favour the prevailing views of the society. A more modern day example was the Taliban. They didn't even allow people to play music.
