Personal experience: In my town a public parking lot could not be built due to it possibly being "endangered moth" habitat.

There are places where you can still build things in the US, but they are more and more scarce.

Are you arguing that USA can no longer build parking lots due to environmental concerns? If so, that would indeed be remarkable since parking lots seem to be the facility that almost every US town has been able to build more than enough of.

You are the consumer, not the developer. As such, you have extreme survivorship bias.

Unless you're a developer/builder you have no concept of the projects KILLED by bureaucracy.

All you see is what was allowed to be built.

I’d like to see parking lots go extinct.

Me too. I can't wait for the day me and my entire family get our super powers and can just fly everywhere.
