Scroll down to the KSTP video. This guys home is no shack. He has Anderson Window's, stone and stucco, etc. It looks like a 4000+ sq ft home. I've seen a lot more dumps / eye sores than this home.

Yea and it seems like he has a pretty private yard, I don't think any neighbors can even see his house because of all the trees

He put the 1st coat of stucco on the home making it "acceptable" (it looked acceptable to me). He was missing the final textured coat. But the reality was that he ignored the scheduled meetings and therefore he snubbed his nose at the city. He was made an example.

What's that saying? You cannot fight city hall.

Awesome! Not that he went to jail, but that the city cares enough about its infrastructure to go to such lengths. I doubt you'd see much of this kind of thing in parts of the Sun Belt!

The sunbelt (Phoenix areas for example) are dominated by HOA's. I for one don't want to cross my HOA because they will quickly levy fines.

I should be long in jail if procrastination was an offense.
