In the 80’s I watched in disbelief as a large housing development was constructed on a desert hillside that was known to locals as a flood zone. Within 5 years, a flood destroyed many of those new homes, to the surprise of nobody familiar with the area.
I can only guess that greed and corruption paved the way for the permits, and that the buyers were not informed of the location’s history.
It’s hard to know about all the wars and genocides, if they aren’t in the standard westernized nations. I only learned of the Rohingya genocide this year.
