Neighbor complains, city boots young couple out of their illegal tiny house

Tiny homes on wheels are mobile homes.

Two dwellings on a SF lot violate zoning regulations.

Building without a permit is not legal.

It pays to check regulations before doing something stupid.

One reason I loved Texas. used to be there were no zoning regulations. only if it was in the deed did you have any restrictions except hog farming, trash dump or salvage yard.
I don't know how it is now.

Yeah, I know. I passed on a couple of dozen of his cut and pastes. This one seemed worthy of a couple lines of discussion.

We've had these zoning discussions before.

I have no problem with that. Neighbors don't want their property values to plummet just because someone wants to turn their neighborhood into a trailer park. Its a mobile home. Those are built to be a permanent living structure on wheels IE a mobile home. Mobile homes belong out in the country, in trailer parks. I live in apartment building so I am not some rich ****er trying to slam poor people.

If they want to live in someone's back yard or drive way then they need to buy an RV camper otherwise known as a travel trailer or caravan. From what From what I understand tiny homes do not go up in value like regular houses IE none trailer park homes do. So a RV camper would be a better value.

In many counties, living in a non permanent building of any sort and/or two occupied buildings on the same lot, or within the same building in residential SF zoning is not allowed at all.

Zoning is there for a reason. One of the reasons is to keep people from turning their R-7 site into a mobile home park. I agree with this reason.

I'm not worried about my property value (or I wasn't when I owned my own home-I now live in an apartment).
The reason is I have seen subdivisions come and go. What's trendy today is tomorrow's slow tired and unkempt.
So as long as normal limits are kept (no hog farm, chicken ranch or garbage dump), and there's residential and industrial, live and let live.
