...talking about the planning board and building department in my town. They're a gang of self-justifying, totally intrusive crooks. Thanks to a buttinski neighbor who thinks it's her business to ensure that everyone stays in compliance with every law no matter how stupid, (and whether the issue involved concerns her directly in any way or not) I had a hell of a time getting government approval to replace a piece of old concrete in my back yard. In total it cost me about $1,500 in inspection services and permits, and took slightly over a year to reconcile. the builder who did it for me ended up with fines totaling in the 5 figure range.
Now I lock my back gate not to keep out criminals, but to keep out uninvited government officials. The bureaucrats are a much greater threat to my liberty, and I view their intrusion into my personal life as highly tyrannical.
It seems I'm not alone in that compliant.
