When you're pissing off the greens, you're almost certainly doing something right. What an honour to have won the award!

More from the popular drone for pseudo environmental political progressivism

There wasn't any. What there was, instead, is the worst bureaucratic mess that can possibly be created in the public sector. It's a process bent on inefficiency, hordes of duplicate and redundant jobs and committees often staffed by relatives, taking an endless amount of time to pass through. The only people who could, until recently, succeed at funding a construction project are either very well off, very well connected, or both. In short, we have a classic example of corrupt socialist nepotism that serves to its friends and to society's richest. If this system in any way promoted ecologically and environmentally safe projects, it only did so at a huge public expense. And that's the problem right there. Some people are willing to see someone else pay that price. I guess that's because some people will afford rent and housing no matter what the prices are. Well, there are better and brighter ways of ensuring a proper balance in the public interests, be it affordable housing or safeguarding the environment. A system of bureaucratic nepotism bent on corruption and inefficiency is not such a way. Perhaps Bibi's answer isn't, either, but it's definitely better at providing the public interest than the current reality.
