Oh sure everyones a "citizen" but you're not a SuperPremiumPlus++ Citizen so you don't have access to that feature. /s
I think most of these symptoms are due to the death of "us". Civics and government, "We The People" refers to a collective "us" that share things. All powers, privileges and norms flow from a brain worm that my neighbor and I are alike, that you stranger are like me, and what is good for you is good for me.
That auto-chisel of isolationism marketing uses to sell us things, the death of third spaces, and a reality where you don't know if this comment was generated by a machine owned by a corporation, has the side effect of greatly weakening the concept of "us." Now its all a fight of demographics.
In this case the code bodies, inspectors, builders and municipalities are the concerned party and "us" citizens are as forgotten as powder wigs.
