So, in your opinion a guy who is using reclaimed materials and is building his structure slower than what some bureaucrat deems adequate is only preparing some “bulldozer bait” for the city to bill him for destroying it.
Boy, am I glad I don’t live in your tight-a** world, FRiend.
Not at all, but I have been on the other end of blight while growing up and know what it is like dealing with someone who moves in to a neighborhood and then reduces everyone’s property value around them.
When I was a kid growing up we had 10 acres, and a family bought the 10 acres next to us and dropped of a mobile home against code. This guy owned a tire outlet in Detroit, within 5 years there were untold thousands of used tires littering the property. We couldn’t sell our house because no one wanted to live next to a dump, and this guy just thumbed his nose at anyone who tried to get him to clean it up. It took 15 years for the county to go through the courts to get him evicted and the property condemned, and who knows how much to clean it up.
I see both sides of this issue. Its not cut and dry that if it’s your property then no one has a say as to what you do with it, especially if there are established homes around you. If you want to live like that then move out to the country and buy a lot that no one has to look at but you.
