Today's question comes from Matthew in upstate NY who writes:

Hi Victor, I own a commercial construction firm and the City and Town of Canandaigua , NY. Officials have asked me, a residential contractor and developer to come speak on current struggles developers and contractors are seeing in this market. I feel like a broken record. I listen to you all the time with regards to codes, zoning, utility, and building permit process, all of these come at a cost of TIME and Money. I feel most boards don’t have any construction or business education and decide to make comments just for the sake of commenting. If you have/were presenting, what guidance would you provide to an official to streamline process the best government logically could?
