I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I side with Tourist about change only evolving after an event.

The road safety analogy is an example. Nearby there is a public footpath across a high speed bypass. Anyone crossing is assessing the risk of injury low and the council that the rate of risk is also low. Naturally there is no call for a footbridge.

Further up the road a child disembarking from a bus, where the speed limit was 60, was killed. There was a public outcry and a call for a 30 or 40 limit. The counculy imposed a 50 limit as only one fatal accident had occurred.

Action only results after empirical evidence of risk.

Well?
