I think I could agree with that.
I would say that, in general, most of what's in a building code and a regulation is sound. However, there are elements that I think go overboard in multi-family housing in particular. I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and be too anti-regulation. In a lot of ways, I think regulations could stand to be a bit stricter, but in other ways not.
What I would advocate for is a different framework, not necessarily more or less—although there should probably be a bit less in certain areas.
