Blaming this garbage on progressives is stupid. You know as well as I do that these kinds of codes are intended to maintain a certain aesthetic to a community and prevent the landscape from being overwhelmed.Building codes were originally fire codes, which were for the safety of responders, as well as a way of assuring future buyers that the houses were of sound condition.
Now they are used for shit like this, as well as dumb stuff like banning gas connections for cooking in new construction.
Give a progressive an inch, they take a mile, and the insult you for wanting something that makes your life better.
It’s not a partisan issue. You won’t have a hard time finding people on the left and on the right who are willing to demand other people comply with their rules.
