I asked our building inspector about thresholds in the building code. There is an arbitrary line above duplexes that triggers multi-family requirements that make it almost not worthwhile to build 3 and 4 plexes. What needs to change to make this easier?

"these are all inveterate biters"... "goblins, for their part, would be free to feast and shit and caper hideously about as goblins do."
Terrific article. At the end: "It will be important to remember...the blithe and brutal and self-delighted contempt with which this elite set out to devour every other better thing, and to work to build a life and a world that is not just strong enough to resist it but dedicated to its opposite."

Andrew Nikiforuk: To appreciate our new world disorder with its daily menu of betrayals, threats and tariffs, we require an honest vocabulary.
So let’s call a spade a spade and name the words we need. Words like “revolution.” “Führer democracy.” “Mafia state.” “Orbánization.”
