was just a matter of time

Persian (Farsi) translation: رویداد مجزا - طولی نخواهد کشید، دیر یا زود

English to Persian (Farsi) translations [PRO] Social Sciences - Automotive / Cars & Trucks
English term or phrase: was just a matter of time Hello, What does 'it was just a matter of time' mean in the specific context below? I know what it means in general, but its usage here strikes me as odd. Any explanation would be appreciated. It was simple math, really: since cars emit pollution that causes smog, the more cars on the roads, the more smog in the air. So, it was just a matter of time before environmental regulations were introduced to slow down the booming auto industry. When the first states introduced them in the 1970s, automakers in America claimed the regulations were so strict as to be “impossible” to follow.	kiarash88 KudoZ activity Questions: 422 (6 open) (3 closed without grading) Answers: 5 Iran
