Yep, $4000 grand and it's sitting on your lot, ready for you to move into.
I guess they come with delivery. Water's hook up, sewer, electricity, all
up to whatever lenient code the city allows during this stressful time.

None of the above will be in the $4K except perhaps trailering to your
location. It's not likely the city will allow one to put it on the lot
even in these circumstances, though, altho it makes common sense that
rarely has any place in government, particularly in code enforcement.


I assume you realize that that was a sarcastic response to Clare's $4K housing
solution. I sure wasn't being serious.


I was.
When my kid broyher's house burned down that's excatly what he did.
He picked up an old RV and parked it in his yard untill the new house
was built. Her used a camping sewer cart to take the effluent from the
trailer to his septic tank.

Stoll lots of cheap RVs for sale in Florida - might not be something
you want to park in a fancy trailrt park beside some guy's 2 million
dollar rig - but it's dry, warm, and enclosed, with a kitchen and
head.

It would be good to think it possible but I really doubt it's feasible
-- and, of course, if it were, overnight those $4K trailers will be $10K
or $15K...

Some of the Houston crowd can update -- at one time 30 yr ago when was
still consulting down there some for Shell Development, there was little
zoning but code enforcement was fairly far along. I'm guessing they've
added more reg's since.
