What is Planning blight?
Planning blight refers to the negative impact on property values and the local environment caused by the anticipation of future development or changes in land use, particularly when such changes are uncertain or delayed. Property owners may experience a decline in the desirability of their land due to proposed plans that could result in compulsory purchases or significant alterations in the area. This situation often leads to stagnation in property sales and can deter investment in the affected area. Ultimately, planning blight can create economic challenges for both property owners and local communities.

What is the primary cause of the dual problems of urban blight and suburban sprawl?
Opportunity cost is the cost in terms of the best alternative forgone. Holding valuable land out of use until the owner deems it most profitable creates huge problems for cities, public infrastructure cost, community vitality and environmental health. It is a primary cause of the dual problems of urban blight and suburban sprawl. For the landowner, the opportunity cost of using land today is the higher price or profit that could be gained in the future and since land tends to increase in value as population and production increase, there is a built-in incentive to wait. Yet, for society at large, the opportunity cost of valuable land being withheld from use is both the production and employment that doesn't happen on that site, and the cost of providing services and infrastructure to a less-suitable site, farther from where the action is. Another way to think about the notion of opportunity costs is to remember that human desires are unlimited, and people seek to satisfy their desires with the least exertion. Thus, we all must make choices about how we wish to use our labour, and the products of our labour, to get what we want.
