Yep. My county deregulated housing. Literally no code checks. A permit was me drawing a square on a map, paying a few hundred bucks and it was rubber stamped

Yep.
My county deregulated housing. Literally no code checks. A permit was me drawing a square on a map, paying a few hundred bucks and it was rubber stamped in a few days.
It was an absolute godsend. I built the house myself for 1/3 the price of even a clapped out trailer.
Sure I could have built a firetrap but I have to live in the fucking house, so I did the best with what I can afford. We all have to live somehow, asking people to do their best they can with what little they have to protect themselves and neighbors should really be the most we can ask. I could never afford a 'real' developer built house anywhere near jobs.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoMay I ask which country?
- beaglesss 2y agoA county in USA
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoOops. Yes, reading is fundamental! May I ask where in the USA?
- beaglesss 2y agoLots of such counties exist. Most of Alaska qualifies, as do parts of TN, NM, AZ, etc. should be a list of some you can pull up and start there if you're looking to do same.
- throwaway290 2y agoDoes this mean any random communist party elite from across the pond can do the same? They have enough bucks to draw squares all over your county
- beaglesss 2y agoThere is no regulation on buying or building here based on citizenship, come on over. I don't like communism but I believe they ought to have equal property rights regardless of their political opinion or national origin.
- throwaway290 2y agoI'd worry if they build a casino or some ugly polluting sun blocking high rise condo in my back yard :) I disagree with you but applaud the principle :shrug:
