Want a building permit? Then give up your right to vote!

Craig and Robin Griswold applied to add 1,400 square feet to their small home. The City responded by saying they would have to pay almost $115,000 in assessments. Represented by attorneys with Pacific Legal Foundation, the Griswolds filed a federal lawsuit in 2006, arguing that the Carlsbad policy violates the 14th Amendment.

to HELL with the local/municipal "government" (gangsters!). Don't rat yourself out! Do not apply for a building permit unless you are visibly extending or substantially changing the property on the EXTERIOR. Anything else should just be done quietly without anyone noticing. Don't put yourself in the crosshairs for these beaurocratic PARASITES!!

I am glad to see Pacific Legal is assisting folks with their issues. I would ad that PL should look into allodial title of land. Just because you have a deed doesn't mean you own the property,in fact you don't own the ground you own what's on top of it unless you have allodial title to the property.Which requires a geneological research into the prpty and a new legal description drawn up thru BLM Buearu of Land Mgmt. Then when in allodial title is held one may do as one wishes with it and no tax
