>>I deal with permitting of projects in Seattle, and the costs can be pretty ridiculous. But with increased population density comes an increased need for regulation....the balance is what is difficult to get right.

I don't disagree fundamentally. But I've seen the permitting process squirrel deals needlessly and that can be frustrating. I've also seen it work effectively, but tonight's 60 Minutes tells us we can't rely too much on the city. (It was on that messed up building in SFO, which does look like a cluster).
