The main things that seemed to have stood in the way of the allocation were for example requirements made by FMÍ, both in terms of location and size requirements of the land (plot), lack of land in Reykjavík area and last but not least, the Independence party, as member of the Environment and Planning Council, were constantly asking for more data and refused to take a stand more often than not in the decision-making process.
Það helsta sem virðist hafa staðið í vegi fyrir að úthlutun ætti sér stað fyrr en ella voru kröfur FMÍ, bæði hvað varðar staðarval og stærðarkröfur lóðar, skortur Reykjavíkurborgar á lóðum og síðast en ekki síst pólitísk umfjöllun um málið í umhverfis- og skipulagsráði.
