Question: In a setting such as India, where dispute resolution systems are broken, and therefore incentives for commercial property developers / owners to protect consumers are low, are "set-backs" a way to reduce fire incidents (even if it is a less than ideal solution)? "Singapore’s freedom from setbacks does not seem to contribute to higher rates of industrial fire spreads" - the alternative view here could be that businesses in Singapore (with its legal systems, norms etc.) have enough incentives to protect its users, and therefore does not require prescriptive regulations such as set-backs? What's the right way to think about this?
