We have no common sense as a nation anymore....our local, state and federal governments are ran by idiots.

A Google search shows Amish helping build tiny homes, for Helene victims, but no mention of rejected due to code.
If true, imagine it would be more likely in the bigger cities than smaller mountain communities…

I read where there were some storage sheds rejected because they didn't have heat, water, kitchens, toilets!!
Tiny homes remain a mystery...........evicting people may be fake news,

I knew they were building them but thos is 1st I've heard about kicking people out I get the safety issues don't want a house fire type thing but they need shelter seems could be some compromise

I know an inspector and while I have not heard of anyone or group specifically, tiny homes/shed have to meet code before they can be lived in. As he said can you imagine having your home wash away then get a living space and it burn to the ground due to faulty wiring.
While I may not agree he has a point. And some of these were not declared as temp housing but homes.
I don’t have the answers just more questions

building codes have become as much of a downfall as it has a help.codes are only there for the banks and lenders to protect their investments in the future. as a former firefighter, I can tell you that the modern houses can be the most dangerous. People lived in this country until fairly recently without electricity and plumbing and hvac. it never fails to amaze what people feel they can't live without. not many understand what survival truly is. this country, which includes myself, is spoiled. I grew up in the 70s and 80s in the backwoods of Maine. cabin with no electricity, plumbing, phone, etc. friends in school would tell me about how bad the storm was and how long they were outta power, but to me , it just snowed...that's all. we've created some of our own panics and so called crisis. but when there's a real crisis, codes should go away and let's protect our people for the short term first and then the long, 2x4s being 24in apart instead of 16in doesn't matter if ya freeze to death in a tent. just my ramblings
Beats a tentI read where there were some storage sheds rejected because they didn't have heat, water, kitchens, toilets!!

Mitchell County prioritizes safety in recovery, urging compliance over convenience
Teams of volunteers from at least two non-profits in Mitchell County are helping homeowners get repairs that meet state building code requirements.

I think they would have to physically remove me if I was in that situation. I will take my chances with a fire vs freezing to death.
Blame a lawyer, not the codes.
If one of them burn by not being up to code, some ahole lawyer will sue code enforcement.

State Fire Marshal says the tiny home evictions are fake news.
FEMA also said people aren’t living in tents

I know people personally building these buildings.....as does wncdeerhunter.
My guess is the eviction news is fake.

Just because they're Amish doesn't mean they're not built to code. My brother uses Amish to build small warehouses for businesses like plumbers, HVAC and pressure washers to store their vehicles and have some office space. He never has any issues with his buildings.

Just for reference....there's no electrical, HVAC or plumbing in these units. What is "code" for a glorified, temporary storage shed?
On skids of foundation? +/- 400 square foot? Any wall greater than 12 feet in length? These are the questions for a storage shed. Habitable space is totally different. OSFM says fake news
I have heard that some are running into roadblocks with some counties permits depts, but have not heard of anything regarding folks being evicted. I would love to know why FEMA has been dragging their feet on getting temp shelter for these folks. The gov't (local, state and fed) have shown their complete ineptitude in response to this disaster.
You would know better than anyone.
Hey...again....thanks for all you're doing and have done up there. MAD RESPECT, brother.

We saw all of the tents by the Harley Davidson dealership so they don’t have any housing there yet.
