It was worth trying. They were using a new type of concrete capable of surviving higher temps. It tested fine under lower thrust levels. The next step was to try it at full thrust and see if it would survive. If it worked, it would have saved them a ton of money in the long run. It didn't work, but nobody was hurt, and the resultant damage was well within their ability to handle, so what exactly is your problem? As for the "village", its a small smattering of buildings, most of which are owned by SpaceX. They attempted to buy out all of the residents exactly because of the " danger close" aspect of it, but some of the residents refused to sell, which is their right. Are you suggesting that SpaceX should have had the government seize the buildings using eminent domain laws?

The rise of farming 10,000 years ago led to the realization that we could breed crops better suited to our needs. And then animals and finally, humans. All political and religious organizations have eugenically modified humans to support their administrations ever since. So we've become a subspecies of joiners that nature never bred. Nature has been doing genetics for billions of years, with a track record of success. Religion and politics have been doing eugenics for 10,000 years with a track record of extinction. The godless religion of political correctness demands that eugenically modified subhumans have the same rights as humans, so humanity is locked into the same extinction path as the modified suicide cults.
