And this is why Silicon Valley isn't always trusted. Yes, you probably can, and more often than not your gamble will work. You'll move fast and disrupt and break stuff and odds are you can even say, up front, 'I'm moving fast to give you more without that boring planning stuff!' and may still be able to put the other guys out of business: depends on how well they handle it, and how hard you can push. And then the natural disaster strikes and you're moving fast again, to make an insurance claim (or get out of town!) and the people who in turn gambled on you, are boned. Perhaps very catastrophically boned. And it's their fault, because let's say they were told up front that it was a gamble. But people are dumb. And you can put a lot of more responsible community oriented business-operators out of business before their planning matters, because people are dumb. Depending on what you do (taco stands? Hospitals? Building dams and bridges?), your very Silicon Valley approach could be anything from colorful to criminal. I will hope the bridges I drive on are 'planned for the worst'. But there's only the inertia of social expectation, and whatever exists in terms of enforceable legislation and policing, to ensure that. And you can always violate legislation as part of your 'move faster' strategy, and expect to just deal with it somehow later. So that leaves only the inertia of social expectation.
