I thought this was a prime example of government over-regulation. He can't have an RV and shipping container on the property because it doesn't have a house on it. But if it did have a house on it, what he's doing would be legal. Its a literal double standard made worse by their solution, which is to punish him instead of try to help him.

And it makes total sense someone would bring in a shipping container for storage and an RV to to operate from during construction. Commercial/industrial do the exact same thing at job sites all the time. I spent a year traveling and helping open new hotels. I'd help hire and train staff and get them ready for opening. The opening team lived in the hotel before opening, before it met codes, and some had security guards 24/7 in mobile offices. With no doors yet, places are vulnerable in some places and need someone there 24/7.

Crazy everywhere. Thanks @freakygeak
