Bay Area Ping: It’s not okay, unless we force you to do it.

It’s his property, let him do what he wants with it - as long as it doesn’t cause real problems for his neighbors.

On the one hand, his innovative, peaceful, imaginitive spirit is to be praised and admired and protected.

On the other hand, he no doubt voted extreme liberal socialist collective for the last forty years, which resulted in the the government kill-droids he’s now facing.

Therefore, in honor of his politics, which has resulted in the murder of 100 million people in the last hundred years, I say everything he built should be torn down and destroyed, and burned, and the ground salted, and he should be billed for the cost of the destruction, and stripped searched and jailed until he pays.

Politics isn’t just a river in Egypt.

"How the Law Caught Up With a Marin County Visionary"

One man's "visionary" is another man's "kook". I come down on the side of "kook". Society has rules to help people coexist. These rules are for everyone, including the "greens". If you don't like the rules, change them. Just imagine what traffic would be like if electric cars could ignore stop signs and speed limits.

...30 homemade structures fill the property, many partially unfinished.

I'd say they were totally unfinished. Maybe partially finished.
