Error from the office - No legally compliant and error-free development plan

I’ll take some time to explain something to you:
1) Fulfillment of tasks. This is a principle of public administration. When the state acts sovereignly, the citizen, who cannot choose, must be able to rely on the fact that the sovereignly promised service is also provided. That is why the old federal railway and possibly also the East German Reichsbahn functioned better than the privatized disaster now; in 1980, the train from Kiel to Hamburg ran on time even during a snowstorm, in 2020 it is canceled in a storm without snow because of branches on the tracks. - The letter from Sylt to WinklMoosalm costs just as much as the one from Hamburg Eppendorf to Hamburg Billstedt. - The hospital xy in district ownership has a maternity ward, even with only 65 cases per year. - Today this hospital is privatized, the ward closed, and the young expectant mother has to drive sometimes over 60 km to give birth. - Fulfillment of tasks costs money. It is not subject to economic debate. The task MUST be fulfilled. That’s what you pay taxes for.
2) The structure of administrative authorities: mostly one management, civil servant, a group of employees underneath. I am also such a head, such a management. We manage properties, take care of their maintenance, and also rent and lease some of them. One line is set. As unbureaucratic as possible, but still within the legal framework, that is my line. I want to see that in the employees as well. They should and may decide, I am there if there is doubt. We communicate, we have regular duty rounds (with mineral water and coffee) for exchange. We award small-scale contracts under 10 thousand by direct award. We know that makes us vulnerable to bribery. We discuss our line there: no gifts, no invitations, nothing. Over 10 thousand, we usually tender restricted. Why this procedure? Fulfillment of tasks; if a building has heating, it has to run. That is the task. If it doesn’t, you call HeatingPaulsen. He has the maintenance contract and then takes care of it. But if a construction measure is to install a new heating system, Paulsen is invited too but has no advantage in the procedure. Submission is a public appointment, no renegotiations. - The important thing is: we run one line. And that includes internal appreciation as well, I stand in front of my ladies and gentlemen, and I stand by them. They know that. I like them, they notice that. They are seldom ill. I hope citizens who want something from us also notice that we make an effort. I believe our tenants and lessees are quite satisfied with us, our craftsmen as well. Karsten

They set one line. ....we discuss our line there, ...The important thing is: we follow a line.

I am sure you do all that wonderfully and according to the line. Just stupid if, in a case like goalkeeper (imho), the line is wrong.

...where we always only know goalkeepers' narrative.

...where we always only know goalkeepers' account.

And the facts of the B-plan.

But when the experts sit together and plan the future of the city over decades, one should be able to expect a little more care.

I agree with you that care is very important and that mistakes in the field of urban planning can be serious. And yet, human practice shows that mistakes happen – and will continue to happen, because removing the last percent of error tolerance from the system becomes exponentially expensive. It is much more pragmatic to correct mistakes and learn from them. Our social development is moving in a worrying direction here. With our growing prosperity, our demand for perfection also rises. With the extremely fast ability to communicate, the filter of taking a deep breath before we speak and "shoot back" is missing. This adds extra sharpness to conflicts. The multiplication of our statements gives the sharpness impact. Since we fall into the reflex to first look for a "guilty party" to immediately put them in the pillory instead of pushing for error correction, the conflict is shifted. Someone who makes a mistake is afraid of being exposed, because they must fear severe personal consequences – up to dismissal, exclusion, public humiliation, and threats of violence. The shortened generalizations against groups are harmful because they create a "caught in the act – caught in the trap" effect and create fronts of solidarity against each other. Whoever speaks negatively in general about "the civil servants," "the politicians," "the corporate bosses," "the Hartz4 recipients," "the environmentalists," "the I-don't-know-whats" contributes to the development that correcting mistakes becomes increasingly difficult. How is that supposed to work? Once again on development plans: To be honest, I am glad that development plans do not come from "the economy."

To Katja:
Goalkeeper is knowingly maneuvering himself into trouble. Here too, in "my" development area, there are plots where semi-detached houses were permitted. All these plots ended up in the hands of developers who built and sold semi-detached house complexes on them. That is also correct. The idea of a private individual building one half like that and the neighbor building completely differently—although permitted by the plan—no one here thinks of that. At most, two or three families agree on ONE concept and one company, and then everyone pays their share. But like this? Me without a basement, the other with... me now, the other maybe in 2021.... What nonsense! And officials or employees in the town hall are not to blame if people have such ideas. K.
