Honestly, I think these people are dicks: http://kalw.org/post/how-tiny-shipping-container-community-c...

Not only is this an issue of residential codes. The other problem is that they're doing manufacturing in a residential neighborhood that's not zoned for manufacturing. And it's disturbing the neighbors in the area with noise and even sewage spillover.




They sound so ridiculously tone deaf like the idea of having people move into your neighbor and build houses from the ground up, unregulated, out of shipping containers shouldn't bother anyone in the slightest.


I was wondering how they would handle the sewage unless they had a hookup to the sewer line it seemed like they were basically creating a campground.
