Not saying there are no visions of grandeur, but I think it's more
that every time someone builds a neighborhood or strip mall, they make
money by transferring future cost to the city/county/state. We can't
go upsetting the apple cart, so developers work pretty hard to keep
local politicians in their pockets.

I kinda wish I had the audacity to build a few strip malls of my own
so I could buy a beach house.
