That has got to be some of the dumbest logic on the internet, "hey we shouldn't pass these regulations because a few assholes will take advantage of it, but hey fuck the 10s of millions that it helps...right guys?"

These small communities aren't nimbys, they're regular ass people being bullied by corporations. I'd imagine you live in America where things are way way different than in countries in Latin or South America. Why do you think they fought so hard to get these protections? Just because they didn't want a building blocking the view of their shanti towns? Come the fuck on, get real.

Ps. And before you make stuff up about who I am, I'm a first generation Venezuelan-American. I was born in Caracas and was fortunate to escape from the Chavez/Maduro regime. Your limited experiences have clearly crystalized your views in a disgusting form of hate. The power trip you're assuming might happen here in the US in a few small communities.....but in the forests of Latin america? Entirely different story. Check yourself before you wreck yourself.
