Documented examples
- Thirty Years in Court, Seven Years to Yes — Galiano Island's experience under the Islands Trust is not a story of an agency losing in court — it is a story of process: a forest-zoning rule litigated across three decades, a community-backed affordable housing project that took seven years from first application to title transfer, and an enforcement system of three staff for an entire archipelago. The record suggests a governance layer that is slow and litigation-prone even when it ultimately wins.
