    yeah, banks will definitely loan money to people who don't have building permits, and cities will definitely give certificates of occupancy this is a great plan, with zero riskhttps://twitter.com/christianbrits/status/1417186156647755778 …

    Honestly, I'd like to see more developers do this. Just build as many units as you can, and then dare the city to require that the existing unapproved units be removed https://reason.com/2021/07/19/housing-starved-san-francisco-fines-developer-1-2-million-for-building-too-many-units/ …

        2/ DYING (however, click through and read the reason story. It's actually VERY similar - a corrupt building department official took bribes to nod-and-wink at something that broke the law).https://twitter.com/anomalyuk/status/1418210694181232640 …

        Honestly, have you ever heard of someone just building something against regulations and hoping the local government will give them a pass?

        Rural Travis County TX didn't used to require building permits and it did just fine

        yes, but it's mostly residential homeowners building sheds or similar. however the government is so autistic they'll notice on the satellite images if you do these days

        It’s like this guy has never met a city bureaucrat before… “Yeah we don’t have permits for these apartments, but are you really gonna knock them down and make people homeless?” Bureaucrat: *ignoring him while telling the demo crew to get started*

        they don't even have to demolish. the developer can sell the units, say they're waiting for approval from local gov't for occupancy. when approval never comes, the intended occupants are left both holding the bag *and* homeless. not all of them will be able to afford to sue

        Inspectors are a disappearing breed. Good ones are already gone. Contractors are getting away with what will likely be electrical fire murder. The code books are used for kindling, these days.

        All true. I can tell you exactly how this will be fixed though: the developer will hire a certain former mayor/former Assembly Speaker’s law firm to “handle” the mess. Fee will be high 6 figures or more. 3 months later, presto chango……pic.twitter.com/vF319tSUbJ

        San Francisco makes the worst parts of grifter’s New Orleans and NJ/NY/Rhode Island’s mobbed up construction shitshow look like kindergarten class.
