Is it any shocker at all that a bunch of "off the land" type hippies would have no fucking clue on how to live properly off the land and not to ruin it?

From the post:

>A California commune filled with 'dirty hippies' is closing down after losing a 25-year battle with its local government. The so-called ‘Yee Haw’ commune is a 12-acre makeshift settlement in Trinidad, California, a remote seaside town with a population of about 300 residents. Its supporters said the commune’s longtime owner Charles Garth provided a makeshift option to combat Trinidad’s steep housing costs. About ten people currently live at the commune. Critics said Yee Haw posed a biohazard because of a lack of fire and carbon dioxide detectors, electrical hazards, wood stoves without flues and unsafe structures. They slammed Garth as irresponsible and claimed he had 25 years to improve the settlement’s conditions.

Unless there was untreated sewage polling on the surface, I really don't see any biohazard type problems listed.

Sure, they don't have all the mod-cons and there are lots of safety issues, but as long d they are aware of the risks they are taking that's fine. The government has its sticky little fingers into far too much.
