I used to be a libertarian, back in the day. But not anymore. Libertarianism is just liberalism for high earners.
But, but, BUT - I can't believe the things I'm required to get a permit for. I need a permit to build a pergola or gazebo in my backyard. I need a permit for a microwave oven upstairs. For crying out loud. Is this just a California thing?
Nope. It's just about everywhere.
Of course, you DO know that the whole purpose of a permit for your gazebo is to protect YOUR property values from the guy down the street who would build a 2 story monstrosity out of old beer cans if left to his own devices, don't you?

No it's not.. It's to generate more tax revenue from the improvement on your property.
