It really just depends where you are.. You go to FL and they are crazy as hell with building codes, but go to rural CT, MA, NH or places like NM ect..ect.. And you can easily get away with building storage container homes or these tiny houses..

Hell another guy who used to live in a van like mine he did the "Home is where you park it book" built a freaking tree house up in Oregon as his home.. LoL
