Good editorial in the Globe this week by Greg Bialecki, my former boss at the Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development.   In my view, resistance to change - deeply rooted in Boston's culture - poses the biggest threat to our economic competitiveness.     

"Recent efforts to reform our laws and regulations in the diverse areas of liquor licensing, ride-hailing, noncompetition agreements, and local zoning have all been bogged down by the same opponent: the desire to preserve and protect the status quo and those who benefit from it.  We should certainly consider the consequences of disruptive change and how to help those affected by it, but that cannot be the driving force of our public policy decisions."
