@amgine @tob @bhearsum @brouhaha @uncanny_kate The problem (as we all know) is that the incentive is to make decision with a short-run focus because the long-run cost is someone else's problem.

A non-development example. A couple of decades ago, our main facility was renovated. My organization entered an 8-year lease on part of an old Kodak facility; other organizations would rotate in & out of our space in the main facility as their sections were renovated.

Our boss picked the corner for his office because of the river view on one side and the lush green space on the other. Deputy boss pointed out that the plan is to put in a parking lot where the green space is in a couple of years. "Yes, but I'm retiring in 18 months."
