        See what? Setting buildings on fire to buy land cheap? I know for a fact it was a thing in Russia after USSR fell. In fact, plenty of historical wooden buildings in my own city went that way. I’ve never heard of anyone being prosecuted for it, too.

        For USA and Britain, I’ve only seen such acts in fiction. So perhaps it was a thing, perhaps in the XX century - the notion had to come from somewhere
