eigoya, not sure why I wrote that, a fleeting memory of the numerous questionable living situations brought to my attention from friends in OLE and Tiki Gardens with the similarity of the folks being from a certain island area in the South Pacific. From one friends house you could hear a high pitched sound due to the numerous electrical cords coming from the same place to lots of shacks on other lots. At some point shacks are a detriment to the community.

Affordable housing, and a grass-roots energy co-op to boot? Sounds like those foreign nationals are on to something!

drug users and foreign nationals who don't know and don't care to know what is healthy or not hence infringing on the rights of their neighbors, the county needs to step in
If those neighbors have anything "suspect" about their living situation, they're not going to risk calling County.
What we need is a whole new permitting regime based on realistic land-use policies, but that's never going to happen, the current system makes too much money for too many of the "right" people.

P7: " proper sanitation as to not endanger the neighbors "
Actually, filing a complaint about sanitation ( or lack thereof ) is one of the few things that will prompt a visit from a County inspector fairly quickly.

lots of people ALWAYS assuming
ie this lame 'my place is perfect so yours should ALWAYS be too' -kine all negative post ...
""""Appears they purchased a lot in quite the flood zone, wondering why that sale was legal. The house is not code, again not legal. Why would you want to show your house on t.v if it's obviously far from being legal? Are people so smitten knowing the county won't do anything? Why doesn't the county condemn this type of living situation? I think the dog drowned. """" ....blah blah blah
the river flows through my yard too, its well known.. if they havent worked their land to accommodate the yrly high flows they lose.... we all prepare for these floods in HA that live on this river... nothing was different this time compared to 2014 and 2016...

Almost forgot: "buyer to perform own due diligence".

Almost as if ... some due diligence ... was performed ...

The river merely cuts off my access -- so my required prep is different -- but I'm not unaware...

Not all. I come from Alaska and try and follow what happens to my property in HA. I worry some about the people around there. Don't really know any but liked all I met. These events look pretty real from up here.

terracore - Maybe my opinion isn't popular but that should be their right.
ETA: "should be"
I think it was correct the first time - that it is their right on their land. There are rights and there are laws and they don't always align. Having just re-read this yesterday in the context of A People's History of the United States: "It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for the law, so much as for the right. [...] Law never made men a whit more just; and, by means of their respect for it, even the well-disposed are daily made the agents of injustice." - Henry David Thoreau
