Simplicity is king in local dev.
Better to remove barriers and things that silo and centralize power.
Also for whatever reason the desktop screen market doesn't know about retina style high ppi displays. It's a shame, same with dropping 16:10.
In go I use rql: https://github.com/a8m/rql
Which I ported to c# for use in .NET: https://github.com/Ashtonian/RQL.NET
Problem with this argument is yielding liberty.. It doesn't work.
You seem to be asserting that the land value is arbitrary simply because it's located in a different area. The value is higher because the land is a lot more useful/productive / accessible/developed. You can't just wipe all that value away.
That being said I'm sure there are some anti competitive laws/regulations creating problems but the solution is not more bad regulations.
You shouldn't get paid for having and idea you should get paid and be excited to create content to be first to market and have an consumer base. If somebody can come along and do it better there should be no legal barriers. The result is a highly competitive iterative market that grows exponentially and benefits the consumer. The only protections should be around branding ie you say you are who you are. Everything else can be accomplished with trade secrets. This is especially true when you consider the world is shrinking and the lvels of control are local only. So all of your competitors abroad are benefiting from it while locally we waste millions arguing in court over who is allowed to bring product to market. It creates things like the epi pen markup. There was an alternative, cheaper within a few days but they were blocked from marketing and change the applicator to avoid a broad patent on it.
Also would like to point out that there is a reason why patents and io don't exist in some of the oldest markets (food/clothing). Because otherwise there would be no industry or growth. They live on brand protection and secrets..
