These two categories seem to overlap to a great degree, and in the search for Gulch locations it has been somewhat of a de facto criterion that the conceived location have no building code. Not only is it a boon to our plans and syncs with the libertarian culture of Galt's Gulch, but it serves as an indicator of the pre-existing attitude/relationship between government and citizenry.

However, could it be possible that additional locales with codes could also be viable:

  • A location with a largely unenforced code indicates much of the same conditions; could a small effort get them eliminated? "Going to a place where the law is on the decline"
  • A location with no code but with rapidly changing culture/population may have an unfavorable trajectory toward regulation, despite checking the boxes today.

It is timely that you brought this up. I actually recently looked at the feasibly of building one of those tiny homes out of a prefab shed. In certain areas, it is not allowed, a 'home' must meet a minimum square foot requirement.

Yeah that is pretty bullshit of a government though: "A habitation must meet these rules and be this big. Also, you can't live in a building that isn't a habitation."
