Thoughts vis a vis the building code in Montgomery County:
- Is this an example of unnecessary/excessive regulation?
- Do the costs of compliance (homeowner or repair costs, etc.) exceed its benefits (e.g. lives saved)?
- Do we need to be protected from our own stupidity or accidental electrocution? Or should we have a say in whether to be protected or not?
