Oh that's an easy one: that's societies' problem. Always has been. The same with pollution and all of the other stuff that can be externalized.

Can you be more specific? Suppose I put $1M into developing a business.

For whatever reason, construction hits a snag or revenues are not enough to cover expenses, how would it become “society’s” problem? Do I get made whole by the government giving me $1M, and the government takes posession of the property?

If so, I foresee a lot more opportunities for corruption.
