Grandma living in Miami tree house for 24 years in showdown with county

[Grandma living in Miami tree house for 24 years in showdown with county CBSNews MSN Miami] "Miami-Dade County says a woman’s open-air tree house was built illegally, is unsafe and must be demolished in the next four months.

The Miami Herald reports Shawnee Chasser refuses to remove her tree house nestled against the forked trunks of an oak and strangler fig in the wooded front yard of her late son’s Biscayne Gardens home.

The fight sets up an only-in-Miami showdown between a $7 billion government and a 65-year-old grandmother who sells bags of organic popcorn at Whole Foods.

“I’m not taking down anything,” Chasser vowed during an interview. “I’ll chain myself to that tree house...”" Full text: Grandma living in Miami tree house for 24 years in showdown with county Jn 8:36, Re 13:1-18

Can you believe it serpentdove, there are government officials who check buildings to make certain that they're safe for living in!

I wonder how granny would feel if her tree house collapsed with her grandchildren in it?

Granny can make that decision for her own grandchildren.

Aren't you taking parental rights a bit far when it comes to the safety of innocent children?

You believe the man should regulate tree houses. I do not. Jn 8:36

I believe in building codes, you obviously do not. 

You want building codes for tree houses. I do not. Jn 8:36

[ACW ] When I was a kid we built tree houses all the time without worrying about building codes. I bet they did in your day too. If they fell it was called an unfortunate accident. But I can't say I've heard of any deaths by tree house.  You probably support the cities that make kids get licensed to sell lemonade too, don't you?

It's a brave new world (Eccl 10:2, Jn 10:10). \

So building codes are just a waste of time unless you plan on selling your abode to someone?

A tree isn't a building. Jn 8:36

A house built in a tree is (hence the word "tree house").

 

Let me help you along with deciding whether a non traditional house should be required to pass building code regulations serpentdove.

Should this treehouse be required to? link

The Treehouse Co. got hired by the Duke and Duchess of Scotland to make this most expensive tree house. They actually wanted this tree house to turn into a beautiful tourist attraction. It extends over a massive 6,000 square feet area, with a 120-seat restaurant, a retail store and two personal dining rooms. Alnwick Garden also has two classrooms wherein plays and movies are shown. The food offered at the restaurant is simply delectable, and the fine beer and wine offered will leave you wanting more.

[ Far-fetched comparison] Let me put it into terms that you can relate to:

You're up in your man-cave/tree house smoking dope out of your sissy vaporizer. You fall asleep and the incense that you're burning catches your man-cave/tree house on fire. You jump to your safety realizing that you've left the love of your life behind. You hysterically scream "Someone call the fire department, my 'baby' is up there!" Thinking that a life is in jeopardy, not that of a sissy dope vaporizer, firefighters come rushing in to save your 'baby'. You're too drugged up and distraught to tell them that your 'baby' is really a machine that wannabe dopers use.

Firefighters risk their lives climbing up into your man-cave/tree house, and it gives out and several of them are injured because you built the tree house (probably while high on dope) and didn't have it inspected.

The guy's a homo, too?

When you property anarchists are able to debate me on why an inhabited dwelling shouldn't be required to have building codes, get back to me.

I just want to get the facts straight. When said homo falls on the fire fighter, is he overweight? Is he a leper?

[ Far-fetched comparison] ...BTW, when you're able to debate me on why building codes shouldn't be required on certain inhabited dwellings, get back to me.

I just want to get the facts straight. When said pot-smoking, fat, leprous, hippie homo fell on the fire fighter, was he cross-eyed? And did he have a mullet?

[ False comparison, appeal to emotion] They're buried in the ground.  Seek help.
