It might not be for you. That's fine. "Hacking" is about thinking outside the box, getting your hands dirty in the process by taking things apart and putting them back together, regardless of someone telling "no, don't do that". Starting with that mindset can lead you to find new and creative solutions that can transform or change the world, or maybe just the part of it that matters to you. Inside every hacker startup is someone who disregarded someone else saying "you can't do that" or "don't look behind the curtain", and came out the other side with a new method. The startup part of the process is taking that idea and getting it out into the world, learning how to adapt what you've learned to what the world needs. Municipal, "little brother" regs are a major impediment to a lot of ideas. Companies like Uber fought against that. Sometimes they won, sometimes they caused mass protests by entrenched stakeholders and lost. I applaud this couple for at least trying to work with the municipality to make some positive changes. As they noted, lots of other people just break the law, leveraging their social privilege to avoid being held to account. For those who don't have the ability to avoid prosecution, it takes someone else standing up and saying "I'm not just going to break the law, I'm going to help fix it for others" to make a difference. Like most startups... most of these efforts fail. Good on them for at least trying for what they believe in.
