The problem is the bureaucracy and regulation that grinds the process down to a halt. Is it 100% a bad thing, though? My grandfather owned (sold a few years back) a rather large utility and road construction company. The regulations and halts almost always had to do with safety issues (at least the ones he told me about). e.g. water mains were old and could burst, unknown cave discovered below construction site Are Canada's or Germany's bridges falling apart? Are their water mains bursting? I'm not sure I follow you. I can only speak about the area my grandfather worked in (geographically), but there are so many "things" that have to be taken care of that it's almost impossible to keep up with it all. The pipes that were old, were old because they hadn't reached the cycle of being replaced yet. The cycle is so large because there are so many. None of that justifies waiting 10 years to get approval to build a fucking bridge. There's a difference between taking the time to regulate the process so that it's safe...and getting stuck in a bureaucratic trap so that nothing gets built. Funny how people are concerned with safety and thereby justify this extremely inefficient process...while roads and bridges are literally collapsing all over the country since no one can build new ones due to the process. --- These people are literally ignorant of the law. It's astounding. As the situation escalates I will come out victorious. - DawkinsNumber4 <cite>meingott posted [p:878006644] in Infrastruc...
