I spent a solid week in the planning office trying to get a permit to build a deck on my property. After visiting five desks, redrawing plans every night to fix their absurd nits at the final window the lady pushed the plans back across the desk. “I just don’t like the professionalism of these drawing.” Drawings were made by a contractor with 20 years experience.

You know why housing doesn’t get built in San Francisco? That office. 100% of the problem.
