Building a house near the coast
mardi 7 janvier 2014 à 13:00New South Wales gave permission to build a house near the coast, on condition it be demolished in 20 years if sea level rises as expected.
It is a kind of foresight — at least it does not ignore the issue — but it seems wasteful and foolish to build a house that will need to be demolished in 20 years.
What the court appears to have done is much more foolish: permission with no foresight at all.
