It’s our court system specifically. Anyone can sue for anything, and litigation is used to solve the problem. It takes forever and billions are wasted on lawyers. That’s a big reason. Also the fuck-you-I-got-mine culture (NIMBYs) that use the courts disingenuinly.

A good listen that explains a lot of the reasons is The Big Dig, about Bostons huge infrastructure debacle.
