> Although I think it should be private neighborhood organizations to prevent this
How? Here's a way for me to speculate in this:
- Buy properties around the edge of said private neighborhood, set up all kinds of highly offensive things all surrounding the neighbourhood.
- Buy up properties in said neighbourhood as the price drops until I can get effective control of said organization.
- Remove the aforementioned offensive things and wait for property prices to rice again.
> All they wanted to build was a couple of office building and bike path.
Which impacts policing needs, fire services, traffic, public transport, garbage collections, postal services, and many others. It is also likely to have indirect effects on the local housing market, and through that an effect on local schools, hospitals and others.
There's no such thing as just a couple of office buildings when it comes to urban planning.
Traffic impacts that are created by increasing occupancy faster than new infrastructure can be built have adverse impacts on everyone using the transport infrastructure just like a polluting industry has an adverse impact on the area (also, it has a pollution impact, whether or not infrastructure is adequate, but that's probably generally not as big of a concern.) So, scale can make new office space a noxious impact, and the article seems to clearly indicate that a preexisting overall scale limit was applied and Google, who had asked for most of it, got far less, and LinkedIn got the lion's share.
