Jason,

In Ontario, Canada, "government" is our middle name. They are regulating the fun and crap out of every activity they can get their hands on.

I got a kick out of a story about one municipality in Ontario with a lot of aboriginal residents. That municipality can't get a building inspector to stay on the job because the aboriginals don't recognize them and won't let them on their properties. After a week or two of threats and looking down the barrel of a 12 guage, the inspector looks for a new job. And notwithstanding, their houses are not collapsing on top of them.

I don't know if that approach is the answer but I can tell you everything we do in Ontario has more paperwork, more reviewers, more costs, and more delays than is reasonable. The cost of housing - pardon the pun - can only "go through the roof" or 'roof planes' as the case may be.
