In 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘵 2 of Episode 4 of 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘋𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘔 𝘉𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥𝘊𝘢𝘴𝘵, the conversation with 𝗕𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗻 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘇 continues diving even deeper into what it’s really like to navigate Milwaukee’s complex 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗲𝘄 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 as a small business owner and developer.

Nicholas, Alex, and Devon explore how 𝗯𝘂𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘂𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗼𝘀, 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗼𝗳 𝗮𝗰𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 can make or break a project — and why too many owners end up feeling like they’re in a battle against the very city they’re trying to invest in.

Baron shares candidly how doing everything “by the book” often comes with more hurdles than cutting corners — and the group discusses what needs to change so that city processes truly support, not stifle, community development.

In this episode, you’ll learn:
  • How plan review, inspection, and enforcement departments should work together — but often don’t
  • Why code interpretation and inconsistent reviewers cause costly delays
  • What small business owners face when “doing things the right way” in the permitting process
  • How systemic issues within the City of Milwaukee’s review process discourage development
  • The role of leadership, supervision, and accountability in fair permitting
  • Why communication and empathy are key to rebuilding public trust
  • How owners can protect themselves and advocate for fair treatment
  • The path forward — collaboration, transparency, and reform
