I can understand that. when you have a pretty homogeneous community and they feel like they're paying for a service that they are actually receiving, it all seems much more reasonable. I often choose to pay for things I want and get 😆

A lot of people who say they hate regulations would change their mind if the regulations disappeared. Everybody wants other people (not themselves 😃) to be subject to some regulations. Maybe some things could be improved. Maybe AI could help businesses to very quickly and easily understand the regulations

the problem isn't only the complexity and friction, it's the involuntary, cohersive nature. if a community of people get together and agree upon guidelines they'll follow - or else opt out of the benefits one receives from following the guidelines - that's a great thing. that is very different than the interactions of two consenting parties - when their interaction only involves the two of them - being controlled and constrained against their wishes by some 3rd party regulator or group of neighbors.
