It's a bug. You can't make everything cost more without bound or ordinary people can no longer afford to make rent. There has to be balance.


You can't make houses cheap without bound either, you turn them into death traps quite quickly.

Everything related to personal data is currently at the slum without firecodes level. But it also has a few unregulated nuclear reactors in the mix.


This is the excuse used to justify the regulatory capture. There is a mile of difference between simply having fire exits vs. minimum parking requirements, de jure or de facto minimum unit sizes and density constraints. You need something that can distinguish these things, not something that provides the trash choice between none of them or all of them together.


Using regulatory capture as an excuse why we can't stop babies from eating lead is the most brain dead take from the American left since they replaced class with race.


I'm not American but isn't a fetish for deregulation a hallmark of your political right, not the left?
