Well it's a last resort but pretty effective due to bad PR and costs

The people who oppose development thrive on what normal people consider bad PR.

many attorneys are part of some company of attorneys, which has side effects a.k.a. specialization; in some of the more contentious legal specialties there is public profiling of attorneys who represent certain sides of the argument.

taxpayers literally funding both sides of a legal battle…

crazy world we live in.
