I'm a bureaucrat in a tiny city that's an enclave for the mega-rich. The average new home price is 20x the surrounding area.

But have more billionaires in the city than municipal employees, and billionaires and their minions are needy as fuck.

25,000 square foot houses built on a 40- degree hillside can't be approved in 3 days no matter how rich your ass is.

40 degrees is ridiculous. Steep slopes, people! NJ is pretty strict about that shit, although Alpine does what they want (because money, as I'm sure you can attest). People on top of hill don't care about the impacts of erosion and groundwater at the bottom of the hill.
