Right now the code gatekeepers have been keeping their heads down, charging modest sums per use to keep milking the cow. But they seem like ripe takeover targets. Another city wants to win the Olympic bid instead of you? Or to steal your pro football team? Or you don't like their views on nameyoursocialissue? Buy their laws then set prohibitive fees and restrictions, killing their economy. Want to see your building code? You must apply in person, on paper, with exact change, between 8:42am and 8:54am Tuesdays after you pass the secret test and pay the initiation/credentialing/backgroundcheck fees. have access to the laws and the tools needed to use them.
