They definitely should suspend permitting to expedite the process, whichever way they choose to go.

- jeffbee 3y ago> Zoning regulations wouldn't need suspending. A common belief, but throughout America the zoning regulations prevent the construction of that which already exists.
- WillPostForFood 3y agoWe are getting lost in semantics. Your original comment was clear in its intent, YIMBY martial law and "housing that meets basic health and safety criteria on a site within city limits that is already surrounded on three sides by other developed parcels". I responded with a viable alternative: free instant permit to rebuild what was there before (regardless of current zoning). You are proposing something much more radical. I'm not opposed to doing something crazy in Lahaina like a building free for all. I'm saying don't declare it a success and start promoting it elsewhere before it is even started, let alone a proven success.
