That was a wonderful read.

The puzzle should be considered exciting. If I've learned one thing in life it is that it is easy to do better than a thousand people convinced it can't be done. Illusions of grandeur are useful.

As the article points out, there is a lack of a long term plan. If there is such a thing (however idiotic) you can promise specific taxes and regulations for things that get in the way and specific tax breaks and subsidies for projects complimenting it. It has to be clear and specific so that one can bank on it. NIMBY is fine, you get a reasonable bill for it.
