I heard the SF bike coalition on NPR last week. They were complaining that
the city of SF could not construct any new bike lanes, racks, etc. for the
last two years and no relief is in sight because some environmentalist sued
that the bikes lanes had not undergone an environmental impact statement.

The bike coalition said 'we need this law for corporations, but obviously it
doesn't apply to us', Ha! No, it's hugely burdensome on everyone. There
is no sense of what it actually costs to implement a law, it's just assumed
to be for free, by transferring all costs somewhere else. This case of
being hoisted by one's petard is just desserts.
