This California Based PREFAB HOME Can Be Built in Two Hours!! 

I ran that question through my Google's BARD and here's what it came up with: Here is an outline of towns/municipalities who have fought ordinances against pre-fab homes and won: * **Introduction** * Prefab homes are a type of housing that is built in a factory and then assembled on-site. * They are often seen as a more affordable and sustainable option than traditional stick-built homes. * However, some towns and municipalities have fought against the construction of prefab homes, arguing that they are not compatible with their local character or that they pose a threat to the environment. * In recent years, there have been a number of cases where towns and municipalities have fought ordinances against prefab homes and won. * **Case Studies** * **Case Study 1: Modesto, California** * In 2016, the city of Modesto, California, passed an ordinance that effectively banned the construction of prefab homes. * The ordinance was challenged by a group of residents who argued that it was discriminatory and that it violated their right to affordable housing. * The case went to court, and in 2018, a judge ruled in favor of the residents and struck down the ordinance. * **Case Study 2: San Diego, California** * In 2017, the city of San Diego, California, passed an ordinance that required prefab homes to meet the same building standards as traditional stick-built homes. * The ordinance was challenged by a group of manufacturers who argued that it was too expensive and that it would make it difficult to build prefab homes in San Diego. * The case went to court, and in 2018, a judge ruled in favor of the manufacturers and struck down the ordinance. * **Case Study 3: Austin, Texas** * In 2018, the city of Austin, Texas, passed an ordinance that prohibited the construction of prefab homes in certain areas of the city. * The ordinance was challenged by a group of residents who argued that it was discriminatory and that it violated their right to affordable housing. * The case went to court, and in 2019, a judge ruled in favor of the residents and struck down the ordinance. * **Conclusion** * The cases of Modesto, San Diego, and Austin show that towns and municipalities can successfully fight ordinances against prefab homes. * These cases also show that prefab homes are a viable option for affordable and sustainable housing. * As the cost of traditional stick-built homes continues to rise, it is likely that we will see more towns and municipalities consider the construction of prefab homes.

@@LauraKangas Thanks. The operative word here is "group."

i bet you could google search for that and some examples of wins for pre fab homes fighting ordinances against them.

@@marianl3447 that's the issue, not much known. Somebody has a small lot of tiny homes in AZ in Lakeside, I think he said it took him 5 years to fight the battle to get the permission. It is very difficult

All the information you require for your potential building site is accessible to the public by personally reviewing the City Council records of their public hearings. You must discover either their denial or issuance of their conditioned approval for your particular inhabited single-family residential structure. This is referred to as a PRECEDENT. If you can not locate any approval PRECEDENTS you may never obtain approval for your construction development. Your only hope in this instance is to hire a very expensive LAND-USE-ATTORNEY that will not guarantee success unless a PRECEDENT is discovered by the attorney. GOOD LUCK and BE PERSISTENT AND NOT FAINT-AT-HEART, EH!?

Thanks for watching Dennis

Absolutely

@@KerryTarnow A ONE-YEAR WARRANTY IS MANDATORY IN MOST JURISDICTIONS...

Thats awesome! Congrats 🙌🏼

@@KerryTarnow THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT EVERY OWNER OF A THIRTY-YEAR-OLD STICK-FRAMEED SITE CONSTRUCTED SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENCE SHOULD BE DOING IN ORDER TO REALIZE THEIR OFTEN DREAMED OF RETIREMENT IN PARADISE, EH!?

Thank you 🙌🏼

Haha glad to hear

They're not going to solve the affordable housing crisis that way are they?

Hahaha

Thanks Poncho! Glad you like it

Glad you like it!

What the prefab manufacturers should get into is co-labing with these furniture manufacturers that make space saving furniture like Murphy beds and expandable tables or office nooks etc... And yes with Interior designers to have like a floating wall "on rails" that complete changes the function by day. Buckminster Fuller was doing this in the 60's its a shame the powers that be have been able to hold it back for so long.

My county is currently pushing "infilling"; a recent development close me has no backyards but each house has an ADU (so, instead of one household, you now have two on one lot). Many counties in CA are also starting very attractive ADU programs and attempting to make them as affordable as possible (an example would be instead of the old regulation whereby the ADU had to have its own sewer hookup [$$$$$] now the ADU can be hooked up to the main house's sewer line; same with water and electrical).

I estimated my permitting for a shop to be 6k in lake county and it turned out to be 12k. Everybody has their hand out.

@@wed3k $12k isn't undoable or even unusually high. I've seen projects with $10 million in fees for a multistory building.

Haha thanks Mary Beth 🙌🏼

Haha exactly!

Some amazing designs in Europe!

Haha thanks

You can pause the video.

Yes, please

Will check it out thanks!

Thanks for watching Craig!

Thank you for the feedback

Glad you like it

Thank you for the feedback

Great idea

Haha yeah I get a bit! Glad to hear you’re enjoying the videos, I appreciate you watching. From what I can tell the base price is for their smallest option and increases as you go up in size and add options

@@KerryTarnow Thanks for reply. Some things just showed up in my you tube feed you might want to look at...I don't have time to look at them or to check if you already did any of these ..so will leave info or links: GreenPod Waterhaus, Green Magic Homes, Woman-owned GreenPod Development (looks good and is near my area...WA state. but the Green Magic Homes (a different company and kind of home) looks shaky...some not so good reviews. I think you tube does not allow links in comments so i won't put those here but will try to in separate comment here. That way you will at least have this info to do a search if you think they are worth your time. Always love and enjoy your vids and fun comments ..i watch yours even when have no time for any others...YOU are really good ...and can't resist watching. Also want a home one day of my own and would go to your reviews to help me; so saving them while working on how i can pay for it. ok ..watch for links in a second comment here .

i just watched one of the Green pods and it looks familiar ...like it may be one you already covered. it looks pretty nice.

You bet

Hopefully soon

Really? ....not mean to be arrogant but want to add another perspective . I grew up and lived many times , many years of my life in shared homes with MORE than 3 bedrooms and ONLY one bath...and was never helllish. One of them was in fact one of the most peaceful , relaxing and also joyful experiences of my life . People used to do it all the time (families in homes with more than 3 kids even) .and now we are " spoiled". Its much easier of course to have more than one...but to have only one...is HELL? REALLY? Some folks would be thrilled to have a home period, and even more thrilled to have one WITH A bath, . I guess what we think hell is... is so subjective. Not mean to offend you so hope it didn't' sound that way.

@@marianl3447 I lived in a house with 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom for almost 30 years and he was NOT cool!!!! and im NEVER going back to that again!!! It's like driving a Civic 92', then driving a 2023 Lambo... no way im driving that Civic again!!!... and the word HELL was just a "joke", as you may have notice by the start of comment for Kerry, i have a "weird" sense of humor.

@@mathieuduval7544 My first car was a '92 Civic DX (90 horsepower!) Then I graduated to M3s. Indeed, you can't go back!

Likely possible but not what I would consider easy, specially if it was fully finished inside

What location are you in? I’ve done some videos on stacking options

Hopefully!

Appreciate the feedback! Thanks for watching

Yeah!

Thanks for watching

Have a video on that area coming!

California state law requires that any newly-built accessory dwelling unit must have solar panels. The California Energy Commission (CEC) states that panels can be installed on the accessory dwelling unit or the primary unit. In Los Angeles, Cover installs solar panels in their ADUs

Many are solar ready but it's not a requirement.

@@FrenchMartini I'm building an ADU now in LA and it is a requirement unless the roof space is too small for panels or there is too much shade so that panels would be useless.

@@kdockrey .

@@kdockrey I stand corrected, you are right; I just received my feasibility report which states that solar power is required on newly built ADUs.

Great points

Did you watch the video? He said starting at 100k

Ok thank you for the feedback

They do

They bumped the price up to 60k you’re right other than that

Thank you for the feedback

Boxabl is nice, but they aren't the only ones out there, and they have an insane wait list. If you're looking for a home now, Boxabl is nothing more than a life goal right now. In a year or three when they have caught up, who knows. But there's places here in Maine that sell prefab homes, and have since the 1980s, including log cabin kits that are literal life-sized Lincoln Logs. There's a ton of options, and that's good. Once you're down to 1 or 2 companies making something, things get bad (look at CPUs, GPUs, etc)

He said they don't use bags. They put them in a lunch pail, whatever that is.

That’s right and thank you for breaking it down!! Despite the economic downturn, l'm so happy I have been earning $ 55,000 returns from my $9,000 investment every 14 days...

She educates you on your principle of wealth Saving, investing, reinvesting, and growing your financial and business intelligence are all essential wealth building habits that require persistent and consistent effort. In other words, wealth building requires discipline

Same here, I earn $55,000 in 2weeks. GOD bless Deborah Mary Smythe, she has been a blessing to my family...

I started with just 4,000 dollars now earning upto dollars WEEKLY..

I just looked her up on google and she's a licensed broker, I am contacting her right away, thanks.

thanks for the feedback

Haha yeah!

He does if he has them. Keep in mind he offers info what's out there, not what he is selling.

All the time!

He does on a lot of his videos. Unfortunately, some of the products haven't reached the stage in development where the manufacturers are releasing prices yet. He's doing the best he can, with what's out there to find out. And for that, I am thankful.

You have to watch and listen...he DID. HE GAVE ALL THEY HAVE AT THIS TIME. What's wrong with you? He always gives prices unless the company doesn't give any. If THAT is going to be your reason to not subscribe , at least watch and listen first.

@@marianl3447 NO HE DID NOT GIVE PRICES!!!
