That's pretty much what people felt about problems with sinkholes, until one of them destroyed two houses and blocked the road for a year - and the people who caused the sinkholes refused to pay for the repairs - thus putting the cost on the shoulders of the people who didn't care about the problems in the first place.
Or the problem with the layout at the putt-n-play or whatever it is down near Fenney - until all those people started parking in front of their lawns because of insufficient parking.
No one ever thinks anything is a problem - until it affects them personally. By then, it's too late. You should've cared about it when the subject was brought up. Or at least put a moment's thought into how it would play out if you ended up being affected by it.
We live in a beautiful bubble. But that bubble is thin, delicate, and can burst at any moment.
