It's confusing how someone who has tried to build anything of substance, in say California, couldn't have run into a regulation or ten stifling innovation.

I for one have seen mid-5 figures spent on a dumpster enclosure, because of building codes.

Stifled by a dumpster!!!

Yes. 5 figures were lit on fire, for a dumpster. Two, technically.

Do you intend that isn't stifling, that a regulatory environment that requires spending 5 figured to house 2 dumpsters isn't stifling?

That's a steal! A "La Sombrita" bus shelter-on-a-stick in Los Angeles will set you back $200k. Stiflingly, it doesn't even provide shelter.

I bet there's so much more to this story than you're telling us.
