Why isn’t regulation and enforcement a solution? Why must the city be the ones to measure spaces? How it works in plenty of other countries…

Maybe it’s different for rentals but you’d think the banks would also want accurate data on the properties they’re mortgaging…and cities for tax revenue…so strange!

And, Sweden blocked those projects in early stage permitting, not well underway or even nearing completion. It's not comparable at all. US defence agencies have had thorough involv…

There's obviously transparently political antipathy from the Trump administration towards offshore wind development in the US. It's far more likely this is gross political interfer…

Just something to keep in mind - the actual site of these wind farms is offshore in federal waters, and construction is subject to federal (as well as state) permits.
