That being said, there were a lot of idiots doing shoddy and dangerous work that caused the permit/inspection routine to become necessary...then it went to far...

Interesting Skunk. Good to know. Thanks for the info!!. 
I agree that there are idiots that should never be allowed near a hammer or screwdriver... much less an outlet or a pipe. I actually have no problem with electrical and plumbing inspections, and some regulations, like the spacing between balusters (slats) on a banister are actually good safety rules But the size of a kids swing set or a shed for example, or it's placement on your property should be your business, not anyone else's and should not require a permit, nor should a deck below a certain height, etc. As long as it's not a safety issue a permit should never be required.
