Or… These are very different places with different constraints.
For example, the US is comprised of 50 states - construction has to meet federal, state, county, municipality codes, and then any federal or state agencies that have a say on construction possibly affecting water ways, natural habitat, etc.
The bureaucratic process is staggering.
And municipalities change their minds every day the wind blows (and who is paying them off).
So it’s a problem of bureaucracy and graft.







You don’t have to live in those places. You choose to.
Can’t pay me to live in one of those.
