alt Hacker NewsCrackdown on unauthorized development.
Apparently the old way was to build in unauthorized locations and then pay the fines as part of the operating budget. The new plan is to enforce the existing regulations and try to have them demolished.
When a story about laws actually being enforced is news, it’s a good reminder that the weight of the law holds very different meanings in different countries.

It’ll be interesting to see if there are any holdouts, or developments let alone.
In the phrase "you _____ follow the law",
- Most of Latin America is 'should/oughta' - North America is more like 'have to' - Europe is 'need to' - And majority of Asia is simply 'WILL'
