Agreed.
This article is also something to keep in mind every time we have an article about minimal living, tiny houses, and the difficulties faced by people who want to build and live “small”.
This is the reason why those laws are in place. This is why there are rules regarding minimum floorspace and minimum facilities for a liveable building. Because if we didn’t have those standards, and / or they weren’t enforced, this is where people would end up. Squeezed slowly but inexorably into unaffordable coffins by the loving grace of that invisible hand.
