what if construction no longer required permits?

Urban sprawl decimates natural beauty.

At first, the change seemed like a blessing. Suddenly, construction no longer required permits. People rejoiced as they built without restrictions, creating their dream homes and ambitious projects. But the freedom came at a cost. Skyscrapers loomed over quiet suburbs, blocking sunlight and casting shadows of discontent. Rampant construction led to chaos and overcrowding. Neighborhoods lost their charm, and nature dwindled beneath the concrete jungle. The absence of permits meant no regulations or safety measures, resulting in unstable structures and accidents. As the world drowned in a sea of buildings, people yearned for the order and reliability of a regulated society. They saw the flaws in their newfound freedom, longing for the old system.
