@MIke Steuart I haven't done a lot in Mass. but my understanding is that if you have an investment property, and it's not owner-occupied, then if you pull a permit whoever pulls it must have the CSL (construction supervisor license).So if it's your investment property, and you don't live there but you want to do the work (or supervise others you hire to do the work) then yes you'd need a CSL to pull that permit - or hire someone who does have it.I haven't done an apples to apples comparison, but my understanding is that generally CA and HI are Democratic places with lots of rules and regulations - like Massachusetts.

In my area, Dallas County, which has turned Democratic, the juries are great for plaintiff’s attorneys and a case in my county is worth way more (for settlement purposes) than a case in neighboring Collin County, which is hard core Republican.

Paul Ryan needed Democrats to get elected.
