It's ridiculous the degree of control local governments have over a landowner's right to develop property. Even if they are not corrupt, the politics can be absurd. After the Kelo case allowing local governments to take land from one owner and hand it to a developer it's even worse.

I've got to admit that it has been helpful to be on a first name basis with my township supervisor. He tends ignore my lack of permits for home improvement projects. However I suspect he acts the same with everyone who makes things look better.
