    Sure… if you can procure the land, obtain all of the building permits that the city or county you’re building in requires, then build the house to code including passing inspection. There may even be municipality requirements. Like a minimum/maximum square footage, property set backs, easement rights, all kinds of things. Builders know all these things and can get permits pushed through because they’re applying for the same ones over and over without much deviation once they have set Floorplan. Doing all of that yourself, or trying to subcontract it out is a very large task and not easy by any means.

      A lot of what you just listed are unnecessary homelessness-enforcement tools you couldn’t conceive of parting with.

      Allowing a person to build themselves primitive shelter is offensive to you, to your friends, and to your family. A dangerous eyesore is what that sounds like to you. You have no intention to vote to allow it, and you have no interest in entertaining any kind of empathy for the caveman with tied hands.

      Shelter is formalized, and you have no intention of dropping the formalities. You’d rather hire men to chase tent-dwellers around.

        I don’t understand your response, they asked “can’t you just build a home” you can, but not just however you want, there are rules that have to be followed. Whether those rules are agreeable or reasonable is different, if you don’t agree with them then yes, you can vote and lobby for change, or move somewhere where these rules don’t exist.

          Tell the homeless people to do that, then. Tell them to vote and lobby and move, but that otherwise you’re personally happy with the restrictions and limitations you’ve placed on them. Go out and tell them that today.
