Well I for one will be selling (of giving away) my humble home before July 1st.
Where I live the city adopted the International Property Owners Maintenance Code and my home isn't up to snuff to pass it even though I've live in it since 1991.
One requirement is that both kitchen and bath have ground fault circuit interrupter plug-ins and mine doesn't. The rest of the house has some properly wired three prong outlets but the majority are still two prong.
Ultimately my entire house needs rewired starting with a new service box. Think I care to put that kind of money into a 1920s house that has little value?
The new ordinance states any new outbuildings such as garage must have the same exterior treatment as the house. I'm needing a new garage---where do I buy steel siding? Not aluminum or vinyl, but steel? Guess that means I can't ever replace, only remove the old one.
I figure it is better to just get out of restrictive housing codes and either live in a cardboard box on my farm if I have to or move clear out of the area where I can do what I want and how I want and am welcome to do so. Low population counties will welcome an additional tax payer and I already own property in one of them. I just don't care for the climate there and to be further away from my grand kids.
We also have an ordinance requiring snow removal from sidewalks within hours after a snowfall. I don't object much to that except when I'm out of town or when it is ice instead of snow and melting would be the best option. Just showing how controlling the city wants to be.
Under cap and trade, etc. I think many people will be surprised when they prepare to sell in the future. There was hype anyway about a home being sold as having to have newer energy efficient appliances, furnace, water heater, etc. and the home couldn't be sold until they had such.
I'm simply going to get while the getting is good.

Today's Featured Article - Harvestin Hay: The Early Years (Part 2) - by Pat Browning. The summer of 1950 was the start of a new era in farming for our family. I was thirteen, and Kathy (my oldest sister) was seven. At this age, I believed tractor farming was the only way, hot stuff -- and given a chance I probably would have used the tractor, Dad's first, a 1936 Model "A" John Deere, to go bring in the cows! And I think Dad was ready for some automation too. And so it was that we acquired a good, used J. I. Case, wire tie hay baler. In addition to a person to drive th
