Yes those are some of the reasons given but they don't really stand up to any scrutiny. For example this building predates the standard so they aren't really keeping any character, just enforcing a new one. Not to mention that's entirely a subjective quality that's being determined by a small group of officials.

Utilities some how manage on significantly smaller easements just fine all over the US and the world. And fire fighting has come a long way in the past 2000 years. There's a ton of detail on this one that's a bit beyond a reddit comment but this is really unnecessary today. At worst you can mandate firebreaks in lue of offset but for some reason municipalities across the US just use this blanket ban instead, despite virtually every single one having at least one district that manages to get by without these mandates.

I think that's one thing people generally don't quite understand. I've seen so many people get angry with the airline employees at the terminal when the flight is delayed for some mechanical issue. It's just a bit baffling to me, do you really want to get on a plane that has an issue? It's not like you can just pull over into the median of the engine breaks down.

One time they had to change a tire and it took a well over an hour and some genius was losing his temper and shouting about how quickly he could change his car tire. Okay, yeah buddy lol.
