I think around 1994 or so, some family built on a bad slope in or around Capitol Hill and they were actually injured when their own house slid or something. They ended up suing the city. I’m ok with saying *I* will never sue the city for letting me remodel, but full indemnification seems like overkill.

It makes no sense to me that you should have to indemnify them for their actions or negligence in issuing your permits.
