This is a wild take imo. Yes, I am sure there there are definite cases of overreach and I generally sit squarely in the libertarian camp but most permits, studies, etc are there for a reason. Maybe you have lived in a developing nation but I have and I can say you are at much higher risk of death because of the lack of oversight. The number of commercial building fires, risky electric installations, lack of common code is highly dangerous.
