I do not plan to cook and sell meth from this house. even if I were to cook and sell meth from this house, I would let you know first because that’s the law.
But it’s definitely predictable if you’re selling it to Walter white. The solution is not to sell houses you don’t want blown up to known meth manufacturers and not to sell land with forests you want to keep to companies that only buy land to build on it.
you’re not wrong. local governments often attempt to use unused property as a way to funnel much needed financial support into the city/state by ways of their own deception.
we’ll sell you this property and you can do what you want with it. *some exemptions may apply
in this case, the buyer had enough “fuck you” money to see to it that this turned into a huge mess, ecological and otherwise.
that said. who’s to blame? is it the government attempting to finance social programs for their city/state by selling unused property to companies? or is it the company that purchased the property and decided they don’t have to follow the laws because they have enough money to do so and in turn destroyed hundreds of thousands of local ecologies out of spite?
personally, I’m blaming the company. they had no reason to do what they did other than to menace the locals.
sure the politicians aren’t blameless, but they are operating within the laws.
Both are to blame, as is the person who was supposed to pay attention to whether anyone is amassing enough machinery to clear cut a forest. If nobody had that job, then that falls back to the government making the contract.
The company totally had reasons to build there, just not any that excuse clear cutting the forest, just like the government had reasons to sell it to them, just none good enough to excuse not doing their due diligence.
see. not that hard to lie about it.
