Tiny-house movement for the homeless
If the codes were changed in accordance with the Constitution (Life, LIBERTY and the Pursuit of Happiness), maybe people could live in tiny homes off grid instead of having to adhere to tens of thousands of dollars' worth of codes, and affordable housing would be a reality. Or, you can keep stepping over humans on the sidewalk and pretend you don't see them. Our founding fathers didn't have to build according to a complex and expensive set of codes, and neither did the original owners of this land. Somehow, they managed to survive and thrive. The technology is now available to live safely off grid, without need for water, electricity or sewage hookups. Why are they still being mandated if not to enrich the builders and the bankers?— March 19, 2017 1:47 p.m.
