Huh. This is a commercial company that is selling a subscription. They are not providing a free service. As such, the title is grossly misleading.

Consider a free resource instead such as:

https://www.law.cornell.edu/statutes

https://law.justia.com/codes/

I'm willing to give them a slight pass as they do in fact seem to freely re-host all the codes with a nicer interface (e.g. https://up.codes/viewer/maryland/ibc-2021/chapter/1/scope-an...), and their survival does in fact depend on the 'good' outcome of the mentioned lawsuits.

However, they seem to not like mentioning their free hosting on their homepage or pricing page, they lock down basic features like search, and this linked article definitely reads like they want you to think they're a nonprofit political action group and not a SaaS company.

Not sure what to think but I err on the side of busting apart real estate and construction gatekeepers, even if the disruptors also just want bags of cash.

If your house has wheels, there is no real estate or construction gatekeeping. It also bypasses ridiculous property taxes. It then just has to plug in to utilities like at RV campgrounds. With sufficient effort, both energy (via solar) and water (via atmospheric moisture) can be extracted autonomously, if only in part. An EV charging infrastructure is already being built up nationwide. Sewer and garbage disposal are still required. Mobility is what America needs in the face of climate change. Grounded houses are an idea of the past.

This may seem ridiculous until one realizes that several homeless people in North America often live in cars.

> It also bypasses ridiculous property taxes.

A majority of states have property taxes on vehicles, and they are often higher than property taxes on real property (and in states in which much real property is assessed far below its actual market value for tax purpose, the same is generally not true of vehicles), so, YMMV quite a bit on this.

OTOH, vehicle are a depreciating asset, so over time you'll lose value subject to tax unlike with real property where that is less likely. So, yay, I guess?

"Aspire to homelessness" seems like a pitch that needs some work, regardless of what it's selling.

An RV with all the amenities, if it's routinely hooked up to utilities, should feel like a home, perhaps even safer than a regular home as it can be moved away from adverse weather.

Granted, it's not a proposed solution for everyone, but it can be a good number of people who don't need much, especially if they don't have kids and are self-dependent. It also may not work in very crowded urban settings if there is no parking space or a connection to utilities.
