Code overzealousness isn't the issue... it's months-long delays in permitting & rampant understaffing of city inspectors that are required to inspect every little thing causing construction to start & stop every 2-3 days.

Aw man, if only it was widely agreed that we should adequately fund government, and that properly funding, staffing, and paying for government services could result in fewer problems.

What? Democrats are socialist? Okay I guess we will keep having the same problems then.

Aw man, if only Democrat super-majority California were not the absolute worst for construction permit hell, you’d have a point.
