    There's too much jargon here -- e.g., what's a "bench" consultant? Could The Housing Workshop or any of the other 3 consulting firms on call - to the tune of an appropriated cool ONE MILLION -- have told us about the "Builder's Remedy" loophole while the new housing element was being concocted? What other loopholes now lurk within the labyrinthine world of housing production? Can these consultants tell us what really needs to be done NOW to satisfy state laws without falling into minefields?
