This is only a thing because the government wants their increased taxes when you improve your home

Most work done by homeowners is not up to code and some is dangerous. The assessor wants the money but the inspector doesn’t want folks to die.

This is true as well. But IMHO, being a dumb ass and installing 20 gage wiring for a 220v stove is someone’s own personal problem and we shouldn’t have to baby proof everything for the stupidest dumb asses in society.

I also shouldn’t have to get my deck design signed off on just because Billy the dumb shit down the road built his out of toothpicks and killed grandma.

People need to have some personal responsibility. If they don’t know how to do something properly, hire it out or find someone that can help. But overregulation is not the answer.
