Why does the same development process feel straightforward in one city and like a bureaucratic maze in another? In Who do I have to pay?, Peter unpacks this mystery through a Chicago developer’s blunt question about Minneapolis red tape. Drawing on Daniel Elazar’s political subcultures—moralistic, traditionalistic, and individualistic—Peter explores why different cities play by different rules and how those unwritten norms shape urban governance.
