@FroehlichMarcel Sociology is the study of methods.Methodology is the study of methods."I will study English society" is different to "I will study English sociology".When people write methodology, they mean method.

@clive I recall reading though poor legislation was central to the 1930s dust bowl in USA/Canada. I may be wrong, but I suspect as with it all things it's much easier to get it wrong, than right.

@clive Neighbourhood costs are I think always wrong, from an ethical point of view.The question is whether legislature can deal with this, or the wide range of other ecological issues? and can it, upon recognizing an issue, produce legislation which actually has the intended effect?Overall, are we better off with legislation, or worse off? more to the point, how can we even tell, given how complex the world is?We need a mechanism which works overall and can be *proved* to be working.

@johnquiggin The planet needs about four billion less people, to be ecologically sustainable. The idea of *wanting* to increase population is crazy.
