No thank you. New York City doesn’t need a federal bureaucracy to be checked into every time a building goes up or a pipeline gets laid. And the level of detail which is necessary for New York would be overkill for rural counties; they have better things to spend their tax dollars on.
A building going up or a pipeline getting laid necessitates an enormous amount of government activities. The idea of having a simple standardized output would be just too onerous is absolute nonsense.
Further, saying that the detail necessary for NYC is overkill for a rural county is just bunk. Yes, of course NYC would have more detail. Do you think a rural county is going to be overloaded plotting their dozen streets?
The whole "better things with tax dollars" bit is really the cherry on the top.
