    I don’t have a comment on the law, but the logic in the headline is just stupid.

    You can make a law requiring the lawns to have grass neatly arranged and you will create millions of jobs of people going through lawns with a fine comb and billions in investment to optimize and automate it.

    “Creating” jobs and investment via regulation isn’t a positive in and of itself. In fact, it can be detrimental like the aforementioned example.

      What good is having housing if you don’t have a job to pay rent?

      Plenty of jobs don’t require a stable address. It’s a small ask to provide a PO box for homeless people.
