Caliplanner1: you make it sound like construction near any public realm is an exceptional circumstance. 'Taking chances because their there are no other options' - this is just silly nonsense.
90% of buildings (of all scales) are constructed beside/above streets sidewalks and neighbouring properties. It is nothing more than standard construction safety practices that make this work without facing any level of unacceptable risk; on site or off.
If it were otherwise, we would all know about it: through meaningful statistics, and the fact that every level of government would be investigating the hell out of an unacceptable reality . . . which is just what happened over the last several centuries in an incremental fashion . . . resulting in the regulations and best practices we now employ.
