The point of a rule is often to consolidate power through exception-handling

Zoning laws (although apparently the Japanese system is way more flexible)
-
meaning what specifically? that the exceptions are managed through a permitting process that is unevenly/arbitrarily applied?
-
i think this is right. meaning where the rule reaches its limit, discretion must enter, which it could be argued is always arbitrary
-
Yes, speaking from experience most “best in class developers” in nyc have “great working relationships” with the local zoning board. The approval process is open to capture through nepotism. (Good luck getting your permits reviewed on time as a newcomer, let alone expedited.)

As a broader ex., the entire lobbying industry is built on value of exceptions and ~pork barreling. Interesting how it compares to the judicial system (I guess key difference being randomness of the jury vs consistency of say congress or local govt / zoning board)
