It is your prescription. Just one official or landowner can set an entire community into a cycle of abuse. There are many warning signs. Citizens must learn how to recognize the signs, and help the afflicted. A public official doesn't recognize quotes from the local plan.
Memory loss is tied to land abuse.
Sufferers of land dependency forget promises made in their own plan. Gently reassure them, reading from the plan until they recover a sense of responsibility. If an official doesn't even know they have a plan, shake them firmly until they awaken. Addicts may fail to attend to normal bodily functions, like updating the plan, or implementing it. As this syndrome progresses, they increasingly lose touch with reality.
