The regulations are in place to protect you and me from careless or heartless builders who would poison our blood with asbestos and other cheap building materials. The regulations allow for safe homes for people to live in that won't fall apart if someone leans on the wrong support beam. Regulations ensure that the electricity and gas lines are all connected correctly so that there are no fatal tragedies.

Plus that fire was a tragedy dude. It wasn't negligence, it wasn't a purposeful blaze to evict citizens from beachfront property, that's fucking heartless batshit crazy fiction.
