The most straightforward way to keep egg prices low is to have chickens. Since not everyone in D.C. has the space for chickens let's rip out that patio in the Rose Garden and put like a hundred of the fuckers in there.
It's absolutely insane that people can't keep well maintained animals on their own property when just anyone can have uneutered cats and dogs, exotic bird, pigeons, rats and even cockroaches. A city nearby has voters opposing urban chickens because:
They don't want their kids to see chickens getting butchered next door.
The roosters will be loud and wake everyone up.
Meanwhile my neighbour's car alarm goes off three times a day and the dog barks all night.
My city deals with that by limiting the number of hens (to such a small amount I don't think it's worth trying to do meat birds) and completely disallowing roosters.
I'm OK with these restrictions, I don't want to deal with a whole chicken farm on 1/8 acre next door and fuuuuuuck roosters.
Interestingly, we are allowed to have goats but you must have two or three, because apparently goats are so social they need thier own kind or they get depressed
There's a dog breeder in the town I live in who has so many dogs in such a small house the town passed a blanket ban on dog breeding within city limits due to the rank smell eminating from his house. I feel bad for him, but he wasn't managing his externalities and ultimately he made his own bed
