Get out of the way.
State could also honor permits as issued and enforce laws as written.
TMT should have been built by now.
Local example: anyone remember the fire at Verna's in Mountain View? May 2015:

Just four short years later, that location has reopened as Frankie's Pizza.
Four years.

Haven't tried the pizza. Don't order the fries. Hint: not a real kitchen (but they do have slushy machines, four flavors).
