    Consider this, if a road to a hospital could be built that could save untold lives, but in order for the road to be built you must knock a non consenting persons house down, would that be morally justified?
    Ah, city planning.

    Wherever possible, don't build a road, build the hospital closer. By the way, this is a very real problem. Suburbia people tend to be worse off by all sorts of metrics, including things like the prevalence of obesity, because services are far away and harder to distribute, and people spend more time in their cars going places because nothing is close by.

    Maybe problems would be solved if it was less us vs them and more "you're ........ing yourself!"
