gov't assholes.

I had a similar experience. After watching the clusterfuck of a stormwall being built on the levee behind my house, I tried to rebuild my home with pole construction, elevated 10 feet off the ground.

The zoning board wouldn't allow it. Had they done so, my home would have survived the flood.

All of the new construction in that neighborhood is elevated on pilings now, most of them at least 8 feet off the ground.

I feel your pain, I initially wanted to go with a earthship, powers that that be decided we needed a more "traditional" building. you should do a thread about your experience. there was another poster near you who went through it, was it jimmy23? you should invite him to contribute
