Sounds like you live in a nanny state. :-)

Probably.
A population of people on walkers who have a bad habit of not getting
out of burning buildings and a few hurricanes where the building code
process failed have created a culture of regulation that does seem
oppressive sometimes.
We have life safety officers who actually know the code and enforce
it. The agriculture inspectors are also very serious about their job
because of the number of weird 3d world (plant) diseases and insects
we could import.

I read your stories and I understand these rules may seem easy for
you, coming in, well capitalized and well educated but if you are an
immigrant who came from a place where starting a business was just
building a shack, it is overwhelming. That was my point.
Remember where this conversation started.
I said the GOP can appeal to immigrants by saying they will cut the
red tape ... even if it is a lie.

Good point. An immigrant may also have a language barrier issue also.
