Some people think that "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" was that film. Another Dave |

Aparently, yes. http://offgridsurvival.com/livingoffthegridcrime/ It's not that they're going after people for living off the grid, they're aggressively looking for and pursuing code violations. That's a huge change from how the county treated this area in the past, when they used to leave it the hell alone. But suddenly, they're all hot about code enforcement, even in isolated areas. There's a more detailed article about it he http://www.laweekly.com/2011-06-23/n...roperty-war/5/ L.A. County's Private Property War By Mars Melnicoff Thursday, Jun 23 2011 "...The crackdown, and the denial by some that a crackdown is under way, have fueled speculation as to Antonovich's, Cooley's and the NAT teams' motives. Residents suggest "they need to justify their jobs and fill their budget." Others fear a land grab for future development plans. Bell calls that an "absurd" idea that he won't "validate" with a response." If you ask me, this probably wasn't motivated by planned future development. Even in L.A. County, it's going to be a good five years or more before the real estate market recovers to the point where developing that far out would be considered. I think the job justification is more likely on the mark, and encouraged by the county's need to seek more revenue. The best way to avoid having your department shrunk or shut down is to have it bringing in revenue, and with the help of Google Earth and a few private companies that contract with governments to provide detailed map data, it has become much, much easier for governments to ferret out code violations. A lot of people have put in an outbuilding, or a pool or the like without pulling the necessary permits. It used to be too time-consuming to locate these and take action. Nowadays companies sell current map data to counties and cities, who can easily scan the images looking for anything on a property that doesn't match with the county's or city's property description. When they find it, they come a-knockin'. The property owner has a choice: get the permit or take it down. |

Like it or not, the home owners were TOLD they had to connect with city water and sewer or lose legal occupancy rights. The best folks could (and only in some places) was to continue to draw "most" of their water from the well. "Grandfathering in" isn't a general and iron clad "right." Sometimes you have to meet modern "standards" or more out. It would not surprise me at all that a government owned power company would have the law back up it's "right" to provide all the power in a community. But best that "off grid" types can do is supplement city power with some off-grid support. But often governments require utilities (even city owned utilities to purchase back excess off grid power at "retail" rates. (IOW: not have separate meters for power coming and going.) |

But often governments require utilities (even city owned utilities to purchase back excess off grid power at "retail" rates. (IOW: not have separate meters for power coming and going.) Most (all that I know of personally) run backwards when power is fed to the grid. Quite common in Texas which has a net billing law. Some areas have a law to block new water wells but typically not older connections. However even these have ways to block on going use if by no other means than they outlaw anything except minor maintenance. Much depends on the local/state laws on water rights. In some areas the home owner does not own rights to the rain water that falls on their roof. We had property in the mountains of NC and TN that was located waaaay off grid. One area said no water well but subsidized geo-thermal wells. So when we needed a well the application said geo-thermal and not 'water'. We received the permit with no problems. The only time we saw an inspector was when they asked if they could highlight the installation in their annual report. We had to guide them in as they could not find the place even with a gps. I can see the concern for septic system but even there the technology exist to convert the affluent to meet the legal requirements of potable water. (much of that is spin off of NASA research). |
