You'll wait weeks for approval on basic jobs.

Checked the city website last month for a simple water heater swap, and the pending list was insane. They're really making people wait weeks just to fix a leak? That's gonna stall so many basic repair jobs. Heard from a contractor friend that even small projects get pushed back over a month now. How does anything get done in this town?

What's the point of having rules if they just slow everything down? My friend's water heater burst and the city took so long to approve the replacement that mold started growing. Another guy on nextdoor said his permit for a leaky pipe got denied over a typo on the form. Now he has to start over. The system is broken from top to bottom.

Denied over a typo? That's next level stupid.
