Cleansing of the temple, aka Jesus whipping the NIMBYs at the planning meeting

> Two quiet civil servants gave their presentation on housing affordability and assured this room of homeowning, wealthy older adults that their lives would not change because of these bills. In response, these mild-looking grandparent figures turned into an angry, yelling mob. They jeered and yelled, openly laughed at government employees, rolled their eyes, and made disparaging remarks among themselves. And this was a relatively mild public meeting.
This kind of behavior is never tolerated in Baraqua. You shout like that they put you in jail. Right away. No trial, no nothing. Journalists, we have a special jail for journalists. You are stealing: right to jail. You are playing music too loud: right to jail, right away. Driving too fast: jail. Slow: jail. You are charging too high prices for sweaters, glasses: you right to jail. You undercook fish? Believe it or not, jail. You overcook chicken, also jail. Undercook, overcook. You make an appointment with the dentist and you don’t show up, believe it or not, jail, right away. We have the best patients in the world because of jail.

Counter proposal: we remove property taxes.
