Putting code/laws online in easily searchable format

[elijahlofgren]

We talked about making it easier to find landlord/tenant regulations.

Here is an interesting idea: "...Now Chicago has it's entire building code online, but a lot of the code for things like electrical and plumbing are incorporated by reference. Most of the work I've done has been based on what the guys at the supply houses have told me code is. Most people probably wouldn't consider this a problem, because they hire licensed contractors, but I've also had work done by licensed contractors that doesn't meet code, and the only way I would have known is because I called somebody who had access to the actual code. Giving people access to the code allows people to know when they are being fleeced...." -- https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12480626
