Local business groups oppose, creating uncertainty for real estate developers. Impact is regional (New Jersey coast), not global. Commercial mechanism: regulatory compliance cost (elevated foundations) squeezing developer margins and potentially slowing construction pace. No direct commodity or supply chain scarcity; affected product is coastal residential real estate.
