Who's really in charge in your town when it comes to new development?

What of our City’s Planning Boards? Do they not care that what they okay to be built today could be gone tomorrow do to insufficient structural designs being used thus far. Lute alone the chipboard shit-board track-homes being built all over the US. The over build alone has cost local economy more then they can afford, with foreign investor reeking the rewards. Furthermore, the life of these homes is 10 yrs on average, with bowing & warping of the poor quality construction material.
