> The bureaucracy, just like the old taxi industry, is about keeping smaller players out, not enforcing the codes.
See my post above.. it is also about feeding the bureaucracy itself as well.
Some places (like where i live) actually go driving around looking for construction taking place so they can issue "stop work" orders and force you to get permits.
they use these permits to ask for more federal/provincial money as they are 'growing'.
They also grow the bureaucracy machine, which allows them to hire more people to drive around looking for lumber on your yard, to make you buy more permits...
