I’m actually with @Yimbyforlife on this one. I agree that these sorts of comments should mainly go to City Council etc. at the end of the day, since it’s really a local and state policy question. But that is different from saying this topic of conversation is inappropriate for this site.
The idea that public review policies are getting in the way of new development projects is a subtext that I’ve noticed coming up in several threads, organically (example 1; example 2). If this topic keeps coming up, doesn’t it mean it’s relevant and worth talking about?
I can see why this topic of conversation might not be fitting for this particular thread, though. I’m making a new thread for this topic right now, so I’ll update this post with the link when I have it posted.
EDIT: here’s the new thread!
