Reply to comment by mowotlarx in City Council introduces land use guidelines and housing agenda a week after Mayor Adams rolled out his own plan by psychothumbs

Why jump to the assumption he wants to slash safety regulations instead of exclusionary zoning, considering all of the material released and every speech focuses on exclusionary zoning

First of all, speeches aren't policy. It's just him bloviating. That's not serious.

Secondly, of course slashing regulations is part of this. That's what he means by red tape. In effect that always means having less eyes and oversight on projects to speed them along. That has always and will always lead to cutting corners again and again until everything falls apart. Deregulation is a farce. It's just more work in the long run.
