We can't do anything. We're helpless! Please rain money on us from DC to spare us having to reform our zoning and permitting processes!

All of the policies that drove this mess are local. Which means solving the mess can also be done locally.

We're not helpless. We just cosplay as helpless because it means we can avoid discussing the hard changes to popular policies that might be needed. I am so, so sick of seeing this canard given serious credibility.
