Disability Activists vs. Bicycle Activists vs. Other Train Riders

Why does the metric have to be the failure of the business? Does the bureaucracy consider a business a success as long as it's brought to the point of failure, but not quite over the ledge?

I think each regulation needs to be approved on it's merits, helpfulness to the business, (and yes, to the public).

What I don't understand is the willingness and impulsion to accept every regulation, regulatory agency, code, and bureaucrat that magically appears. Every. Single. One. If there is no pushback, we will be overwhelmed with them.

What I also don't see is the same combative attitude applied to the government establishment. Where is the outrage on your parts to get public buildings into compliance? Always the multi-year "not in the budget ploy". What if we apply the same failure of business model to those agencys that have yet to comply? Sue them out of their jobs.

Thanks Mark, I had the January 1st date in mind and didn't realize it had been postponed, in Silicon Valley most AHJs have had Green Codes for several years now. Just last week I asked a CBO (in a smaller non-Valley jurisdiction) what he was doing about the Green Code? He said: "Just give me a written disposal plan listing how you are going to dispose of all your segregated waste." I then brought up people getting sick in sealed-up homes where the Green Code was in effect and he agreed it was terrible. Either he doesn't know or he's going to look the other way for a while.

The green code and energy code "for several" years is the 2010 codes. They are still in effect until July 1. That is when the new version goes into effect.
