City, county, state and federal planners, Government attorneys, law enforcement are often brought in to try to fix the problem with poorly designed real estate after corrupt politicians allowed the project to be built, and private lawyers often sue the government about accidents, often the leading cause of death in current industrialized nations, caused partly by unsafe design and/or the government has the cost of the accidents shifted to it as insurer of last resort. Insurance companies for mostly vehicle accidents do not involve themselves enough in the planning or legislation process often and then may try to get judgments from lawsuits to have a limit on them. This is a very complex area of the law. However, there have been some interesting and unique decisions about denying approval of projects, especially large projects where major infrastructure changes where expected, or huge traffic congestion might result, a huge shadow would be cast, in the cities of Sacramento and Redwood City, but these are government centers or somewhat wealthy areas, likely with a more educated and politically active population. Most real estate developments are approved. A recent trend to have early design or planning review to help make sure a project is likely to conform to the general plan and/or community standards.
Unabomber’s argument goes like this: personal freedoms are constrained by society, as they must be; the stronger that technology makes society, the less freedoms;Technology destroys nature, which strengthens technology further; this ratchet of technological self-amplification is stronger than politics; Any attempt to use technology or politics to tame the system only strengthens it; therefore technological civilization must be destroyed, rather than reformed; since it cannot be destroyed by tech or politics, humans must push industrial society towards its inevitable end of self-collapse; and then pounce on it when it is down and kill it before it rises again.
The cost of Real Estate, Environmental Impart Reports, Land use, Resource Management, Planning, and Property Values does not mean it has high value, or reflect its value.
