The home building and real estate industries are now a racket. People are homeless and working two or three jobs. I completely understand the need for building regulations just to protect the consumer, but so many of them now are dictated by home building lobbyists, and HVAC industry lobbyists. You should be able to buy a piece of land and have a house of your choosing without having to jump through all the regulatory hoops and permitting fees and etc.. When you’re building a home of your own, you shouldn’t have to pay the same kind of fees, that commercial builders pay. It should be free of fees and the city should just get their money from their portion of your property taxes. You see the price of land go down and become affordable for normal people again if that happened because the builders they just want to gouge for as many dollars is they possibly can they’re not in the business of making homes for people there in the business of making money off of wood and gypsum board

They used to sell this model at Home Depot in north Georgia and I've not seen one in years. Also here in western North Carolina where I'm from they've started removing these from sale locations as well. A friend of mine got messed with by a code inspector and was questioned for having a wood craft work shop in his basement where he builds hobby bird houses and was stalked by them watching from across the highway with binoculars. They pulled up in his yard and asked him what he was working on and he replied, "bird houses". It's getting stupid in this country with all these regulations anymore. Now it's illegal to sleep in a vehicle here if you're homeless. And there's no shelters hardly at all other than bigger towns. With houses starting at $250,000 for a 1 bedroom rundown junker and rent ranging from $1,500 to as much as $10,000 in certain areas, yes $10,000 with a minimum wage of $7.25, hows that work out if you're not rich already when you move to a very poor area with a job and housing crisis that keeps getting worse and more populated? It's sickening how greedy this country has become and the fact that our generation and the following ones can't even own a home without selling their soul to the man is not a free country anymore. Then again if they didn't care to steal my ancestors land and turn it into a polluted nightmare of greed and false hope, then it doesn't surprise me.

Even if you own the land, you still need permission to live on it, if the laws are the same in the US, as they are in the UK. My brother has had his own woods, a place which he's turned into a fire wood industry, whilst clearing the spot for his authentic antique gypsy caravan, a place for friends and family to meet up, a Christmas tree farm, rented space for a lady who bred miniature pigs, and some fancy chickens, but he cannot live there. He bought it, when he was still a traveller, for about a thousand pounds, about 30 odd years ago, but, somehow the council always knew if they stayed on it too long.... He now owns a beautiful house by the sea, has his own beach café, and a canal boat. Never stuck for holidays... Good job, when you have 7 children, a wife, grandchild, and innumerable nieces nephews, a brother, and a sister, parents, and a LOT of friends. I actually lived there, for a beautiful summer, when I left my husband, the boys loved it, when it was my week... Now, we have a brother, who lives in Bulgaria, bought a whole farm, for about 27p, but him and his girlfriend, who is very, very handy, have turned it into a fabulous place, with holiday homes for f&f, they currently have four refugees, from the Ukraine 🇺🇦 x Yeah, I'm sure you could live on it, now, but check the small print...

Meanwhile America, home depot is literally selling these for $20k and to have it constructed included in the price. THIS should be a real option. It's a smaller footprint and people could actually buy these and live in them.
