We all grasp information in different ways and they say a picture is worth a 1000 words.  So - I created a little movie and lots of amazing images to address the very serious takeover of tiny houses with western them satire.
ICC 1215: Satire On The Ghost Trailer That Leaves No Ruts

This is an excerpt from a blog post  centered around the International Code Council ICC/THIA 1215 tiny house standard written with much needed humor to lighten the heaviness and stress of the issues I will present. The blog post includes a short satire video explainer and the tale of The Little House In The Desert -A Wagon That Leaves No Tracks written in a spaghetti western theme depicting the Wild Wild West, sprinkled with lots of satire. 

The Tale Is About Preemption, Silence, and the Town That Wasn’t Supposed to Ask Questions About The Ghost Trailer. 

I will add relevant blog posts at the end if you need to get caught up on the main issues including how the standard was hijacked by the small residential unit and how ICC is disregarding and ignoring motor vehicle and HUD preemption and the very path that could lead tiny houses on wheels to compliance for mortgages and legal placement. ICC is purposely rerouting tiny houses through the small residential unit detour that will stifle the industry.

The small residential unit, is arbitrary and unconstitutional, a whim of ICC, and has nothing to do with structural integrity, life and fire safety or for consumer protection for tiny houses. 

This strategic move will cause a regulatory reset, squeeze out small artisan builders in favor of BIG Players in the industry. 
The reset will cause a slow adoption of a 50 state patchwork of different regulations, exactly what preemption is in place to prevent for their market control and domination. 

ICC just posted their reply to my complaint to them regarding preemption, without my complaint, my rebuttal to their reply, and supporting documents which is disturbing, and they misstated my statements. Learn more.
