You've obviously never built a house in California. They're complaining about 6-8 month turnarounds to review a rocket permit. That's well below the typical turnaround time for new house construction around here. Heck, I've heard of generator permits taking longer than that. To be clear how absurd that is, a generator permit is one that gets you permission to pour a concrete pad, place a store-bought residential generator on it, and then trench and run electrical lines between it and an existing electrical panel. I empathize with SpaceX, but there are similar issues with far larger economic impact throughout all layers of the US government. Ever hear the story about the access road in Marin that they needed to build for Golden Gate Bridge maintenance? It took longer to permit and cost more to build than the bridge (inflation adjusted).
