They have the rep they have because, as "temporary structures", they're not held to even the same flimsy standards of safety or workmanship that residential construction is. They're mostly known for burning down and getting blown over.

they're mostly known for being cheap. which is why they're used as the butt of jokes because society is all about punching down

if you live in a mobile home built after the mid-70s, chances are you're fine because HUD stepped in and implemented fire safety standards at that point

If I was the head of the Senate Democrats, I'd pass some awful, regressive legislation that everyone universally reviles. Well, except for Republicans:

- West Virginia has to pay 1% additional sales tax to each red state in the union

Get republicans to vote en masse. Real bipartisan fairy tale.

Then I'd put some other legislation on the floor reverting it:

- Manchin universally sucks bill: Filibuster reform + repeal 99% of the west virginia sales tax

And just like that, all your ducks are in a row.

quote:

In Pittsburgh, almost all code inspections of residential properties are instigated by a complaint. So when homeowners in prime neighborhoods receive building code citations amid a flood of offers, many suspect that cash buyers—an unlicensed and largely unregulated segment of the real estate ecosystem known for their persistence and knowledge of building codes—are behind it. Community groups are also convinced that the flippers have essentially weaponized tip lines like the city’s 311 nonemergency service, trying to create a hassle that will incentivize homeowners to sell. “This is something I’ve heard of and we have confirmed reports of it,” said Dave Breingan, executive director of Lawrenceville United, a nonprofit community group that advocates for area residents.

I get 4-5 texts or postcards a week asking me to sell my house and I am not in a desirable neighborhood.

I can afford to fix any code violations that get thrown at me but I have some older neighbors that I know can't.

Lawrenceville was especially rough wrt gentrification, the land became desirable because it's the only large neighborhood full of flat land in the city, but the entire area was pretty poor up until 2008-2009 and the housing stock isn't great. So it was mostly retired blue collar people getting fined out of their family homes.

nah, trump as the god emperor was actually kind of insightful (the dying regent, mind almost gone, on his golden throne), where this dog poo poo is just pointlessly moronic.

Back in 2018, the cops tracked this guy to state forest land where he was growing ten marijuanas. When the cops came out to arrest him for it, he hid in a shrub and wouldn't come out, so they brought a bulldozer in and ran him over.

They murdered the guy over ten plants, and his family got $475K.

not laughing at the guy but how do u get run over by a bulldozer by accident. was he incapable of... walking out of the way?

honestly surprised at the outcome, I mean sure he was white but usually "any amount of drugs equals instant threat of MS13 supersoldiers packing AK-47s every time" is law enforcement's get out of jail free card

not that any of the cops themselves got in trouble

that's the story the cops gave, which this civil trial disagreed with

I just assume that the cops are lying in any statement they give.

I read about it when it happened and the impression that I got is that they got tired of waiting for the guy to come out of the shrubbery he was hiding in, sent the bulldozer in to flush him out, and had a whoopsie doodle.
