I think you are an idiot dress like Amish and talk to the camera wtf. Why do you have all these videos trashing the Amish. I lived the Amish life for 18 years and a lot of what you say is stupid they are just trying to live a simple life.
The problem here is the houses they are building. If they were building simple houses using the Ordnung and old technology then maybe they have an argument to be exempt. But look at what they are build....They use vinyl siding, insulation, sheetrock, and anderson windows. These houses were built like any other house and are ready for an "English" to move in except for electricity.
So if they want a house like this then follow the rules like the rest of us.
a. If they are enacted so that upper middle class people can maintain property values for $700K homes by requiring 4 foot fences, manicured lawns, and brown paint, it's wrong.
b. If they are enacted to protect people's lives (i.e. CA seismic code ), they have a legitimate purpose.
c. I agree that many municipalities manipulate building codes as a source of income in tough economic times.
building code suck sometimes... gee wounder why there are lots of 100 year old barns still standing?? overbuilt, built strong, with no plans just common sense..

You morons: If there ever were a God given inalienable right it would be to build one's home as you see fit. Get off the fluoride....

I have mixed feelings about building codes:
a. If they are enacted so that upper middle class people can maintain property values for $700K homes by requiring 4 foot fences, manicured lawns, and brown paint, it's wrong.
b. If they are enacted to protect people's lives (i.e. CA seismic code ), they have a legitimate purpose.

McGuffy reader? I didn't know that book was still being used. Wasn't that required reading during the 1800s? Wow!
Good for you. Keep the record straight.
Hey, are you allowed to use such technology such as computers?
