I wonder if the job of Green Inspector qualifies for hazardous duty pay...
Will cement block homes be outlawed because they usually don't have any insulation in them, or will the government force people to inject a ‘structured foam’ or other insulation into the hollow spaces in the blocks?
We just bought a new house last year here in Florida and we did order the structured foam insulation as an option within the cement blocks.
We felt that it would help a little in cooling as well as keeping insects and other vermin out of the walls. The vendor claims that it reduces noise from entering from outside as well.

What if you want to use steel as a frame? Will this not be allowed?
To my mind “greener” isn’t the goal, or at least if it is whomever in the State Gov of ours here in California has abused the word to draw support for the additional cost of 2X6 lumber.
Illogic says to me it would be some Leftist imagining towards Earthquake safety to have the “stronger” lumber in construction, as I can’t see any possible way using those 2X6’s would make anything greener, unless it was painted green.
To my mind it would seem the larger lumber would increase the consumption of lumber, thus the cutting down of more trees to the chagrin of the tree huggy-bunch.
LOL! That is hilarious!
Ah yes! saleable! (That gets a spellcheck!) But it makes more sense. But it’s not in my dictionary (Webster’s)
By the way, spellcheck gets a spellcheck too!
it comes down to not even being able to “sell it” without proper repairs... “as is” won’t matter to the law...
“unsalable”

If they give me a complete tax break for the purchase of *ALL* stated additions to my home (as in I can write off everything)...maybe I’ll think about it.

So maybe a bunch of us should become "green inspectors" or whatever other freedom-defeating bureaucrat they invent. I'm beginning to see that the only way to defeat this crap is to infiltrate it and change it.
Calfornia has been there for years.
I read about this months ago.
When my dad passes away (82-years old) I stand to inherit his house. It is 40-years old and needs major repair.
With these legal statutes in the pipeline, I think I’ll just tear down the house and sell the lot. It will readily sell as the neigborhood is desirable and the lot will have all utilities at the site. I’m not about to put $250,000 - $300,000 into a property that may not sell for years.
His doctor says my father is in passable health besides Alzheimer disease. So it may be many years yet before I have to deal with the house - hopefully!
It is already happening in certain areas of the Mon Valley.
I've got an older home with a lot of poor previously done work done by so-called certified union electricians. I can do better work myself to correct it, but I don't have the union license. So, when it comes time to sell my home, I'll have to bribe an inspector to certify my work which is better quality than most of the idiots with a union card.
My reply to you was simply parroting my search engine's response to the word "salable". Thank you for posting this article.
Look for an epidemic of "mysterious" house fires to collect on insurance. Next, the insurance companies will not sell fire insurance.
Exactly!!!

Typical RAT game, create a crisis then take it over.
Thanks
