I'll try to keep it somewhat realistic:

Cure for psoriasis.
Large improvement in public transport. Currently it's just getting worse, at least where I live, because everything is centered around cars. Thus public transport gets less funding, which results in lower quality and less people using it. Which results in more investments into car-centric infrastructure. You get the idea. The more shit it gets, the more shit it gets.
Bicycle lanes and sidewalks. Building large roads is seemingly no problem, but bike lanes and sidewalks? Nah. I could get to school on a bike, but the only way to get there would be by a dangerous busy road, so a bus it is. I am not worried about getting killed by a truck or BMW driver, I am however worried about serious permanent injuries which are probably more likely.
