Forty-two years ago, homes here didn’t have to be permitted at all.

Building codes and related permitting regulations were established to ensure safety, and accepted by the public under those auspices.

The addition of novel, non-safety related political requirements exceeds this original remit and undermines the entire telos of residential building codes.

This inescapably leads to reduced compliance with the regulatory process, and thus, less-safe housing.

So, yes, “overly burdensome”.

You're asserting that there exists a set of "non-safety related political [building] requirements" which are significant enough to substantiate your conclusions. This is in no way self-evident.
