My small city passed new zoning regulations last year that prioritized density, new housing, clearer regulations. Last week 9 wealthy residents sued because of a clerical mistake in the processing of the new zoning - god forbid someone put an apartment building within a mile of their 2 acre city lot. Pretty much every developer in town has now pulled the plug on their projects. They were already wobbly with all the tariffs/cost inflation, but throw regulatory uncertainty on top and they’re out. As a result, my wife’s office (she’s also an architect) just put everyone at part time and cut wages by 50% since most of their business was tied to these developers.

Oy. Sorry to hear it. Hope there's a silver lining in there for you somewhere...

Hopefully a little extra free time will give us the room to start the next thing.
