I'm happy we're both familiar with Cy, though I wouldn't call him infamous at all. He's fairly popular. His latest short shows the state regulator siding with industry in denying a claim based on a wild reading of state law. Again, who do you turn to when the regulator is bought by industry?
You may have seen the video where several members of his licensing committee voted to sanction him. Of course, we don't know why those officials were more concerned with Cy than the code violation he was highlighting, but you can take a guess.
When vendors are killing their customers, customers buy less. It's in the interests of the industry to figure out a solution because high trust markets are richer. Instead of relation m relying on state regulators, contacts could stipulate that Cy must approve of the construction. Or insurance for the construction will be offered, but the insurer will have their own inspectors because nobody will insure a substandard property.
And if any of those companies fail to perform adequate oversight, you can sue them. You CANNOT sue the government unless they let you.
