> figuring out all the local regulations and getting permits (it's not 2010 anymore!

Hm. This is like --

It's not 1066 any more, there are property rights now.

The original regulatory capture.

Step 1: Ignore the law; establish a fait accompli.

Step 2: Sanctify the new status quo.

Sad for a rule-follower to figure out that this is how things work.

On the other hand, I guess rule-following is low risk. For each William the Conqueror there were thousands of warriors who just got killed on the battlefield. And I'm sure the guy had to work really hard, you know, like nights and weekends.
