Wait, the MS House wants to get rid of building codes?

[OG Goat Holder]

Mississippi counties, cities could receive authority over state building permit codes

The Mississippi House on Wednesday passed legislation to give counties and cities the right to regulate building permit laws and building codes.

In the disaster ridden state of MS??

and we have Tucker Carlson pushing Putins agenda

What happened to the Republican Party????

Mississippi gonna Mississippi.

If I want a styrofoam house I should be able to build one.
On the other side, all MS towns can now sell wine and liquor. Drunk, broke, and stupid baby!!!

Each city already adopts which code they want. Literally every city in the entire State has their own adopted code. Hell, Hernando is still under IBC 2012. Most is on 2016 or 2020.

 

[greenbean.sixpack]

How much enforcement is there? In rural counties very little. I've sold properties in Rankin that I've done major renovations on, no permits, inspections, nothing, no one had ever said anything about it at closing. Now the State will go in deep and dry over a treatment plant.

So what are they wanting to change?

The last quote in the article kinda nails it for some of the thought behind it and it’s pretty true.


“I'm telling you, it is very difficult in some counties to find licensed contractors to do things that you want done now,” Bailey said. “If you want to build a lot of development in the small counties, then the law he is trying to change, it (allows) that. It has nothing to do with getting rid of building codes.”

The bill will now be considered by a Senate committee before possibly going to the floor for a vote.

 

[Hugh's Burner Phone]

I've built two houses in my life. One in rural Carroll county and one in Oktibbeha county. In both instances there was zero inspection. For the one in Oktibbeha county which requested a draw the bank did send somebody out to verify the house was built to the % completion I told them it was.

It has become much less educated. Sometimes the chickens take the long way when coming home to roost.

Is there a lot of demand for development in rural counties?

A HUGE problem for Starkville for decades: no zoning and no codes.

No but if you want to build something in a rural county it can be pretty difficult to find someone.

is the insurance cheaper on a house built to code

 

[BrunswickDawg]

As a person who administers this stuff for a living in GA - What in the actual 17 are y'all thinking??? I'm all for local control of zoning and understand some communities go overboard in regulations - but intentionally setting yourselves up to have homes and commercial building as deathtraps is not a good way to govern.

And when the City finally started to implement regulations, people freaked out because a coffee sign childishly refused to adapt.

There should be minimum standards. If not watch your insurance rates raise in Ms

Big difference between "Educated" and knowledge or intelligence. Elites and close minded people believe in "Educated" as a stamp of validity; the problem is what are you getting "Educated" about?

I have plenty of "Education" and pieces of paper but I don't equate that automatically to knowledge or intelligence. Useful idiots are incapable of thinking for themselves.

I love how Russia is the boogie man, but China is the one buying up American soil. They are buying mostly farmland, and combine that with the greenies our people will be starving and/or eating fricking bugs. Our country needs to wake up and realize what we have is the best thing going since ever, so let's not post it away!!

<dumb political meme>

I heard an ex-Republican Congressman called him a traitor. Is that what you are referring to?

I don't view Carlson as a traitor for interviewing Putin. Heck, multiple reporters countered Carlson's absolute lie when he claimed nobody else had tried to interview Putin, and I also wouldn't consider any of them traitors if they interviewed Putin.


Like most political memes, yours misrepresents and sucks.

 

[LordMcBuckethead]

No but if you want to build something in a rural county it can be pretty difficult to find someone.

Codes have nothing to do with that. The Secretary of states office has requirements for licensed contractors. The state board of contractors has its rules for contractor.

this is the problem with old people in government that has never had a “real” job. Their terminology is all messed up.
Local ordinances is not a building code. Having qualified professionals in rural areas has nothing to do with a single code or ordinance written in the entire state. People should not be having a building built anywhere in the state, that will have people in it, that isn’t built by a licensed contractor subject to the Board of Contractors rules and regulations.

if someone is not willing to meet the professional requirements set forth in their profession, that is precisely why people get 17ed left and right by so called “contractors”.

I can't find an electrician in Olive Branch right now. I had one based in Collierville and they could not pull a permit because they are not licensed in MS and all the reciprocal agreements have been removed just recently. I can't get an MS electrician to show up. And all I want is to get an 100 amp electric service to an outbuilding with a box and one outlet.

 

[LordMcBuckethead]

And when the City finally started to implement regulations, people freaked out because a coffee sign childishly refused to adapt.

The city has some rules that not everyone is on board with, including the sidewalk requirements, the signage requirements, and the arbitrary upgrade requirements when you exceed 50% renovation value of the assessed value of the property and the extremely cost prohibitive requirements of updating your entire site to the site plan, parking, planting requirements.
BUT, this is what it takes for the city to not look like crap. Sure it sucks for people that want to update their building but not spend 100-200k doing useless site upgrades.
I would add, if the city required sidewalks, then they should pay for them to be installed everywhere at once in an area as opposed to making businesses and private landowners to do it.
The signage issue, well that is expensive as hell on people running businesses. The sideways sign is childish and just reflects poorly on the business. I commend the Mayor and the board not caving to the public pressure over it. BUT, I do understand where the owner is coming from on the random requirement to change their sign.

We absolutely should be handing Ukraine what they need to fight the Russia. It is far cheaper and way more beneficial to us for Ukraine to fight and hold their territory.

Yep, this changes not a thing.

YES. If Ukraine loses this war it will be an unmitigated disaster for us, and not just vs Russia. They don't have to win it, they just can't lose it.

 

[L4Dawg]

Yep, this changes not a thing.

It would be a very good thing if most Mississippi cities, including mine, would enforce the ones the already have.

 

[85Bears]

YES. If Ukraine loses this war it will be an unmitigated disaster for us, and not just vs Russia. They don't have to win it, they just can't lose it.

how would that possibly be a disaster for us, other than stopping hundreds of billions from being stolen and laundered from the treasury ?

How many counties or cities do you think will do that?

I don’t know anything about this bill other than what’s in the link and have no clue if it’s a good idea or not, but there are plenty of incentives to build decent quality. And I’m not sure how much code enforcement really does. I’ve seen plenty of new construction houses that were subject to codes and city inspections that I wouldn’t touch because of ****** build quality. I’d like to think they would stop the most dangerous fire traps or cutting corners on structural issues, but not really sure that they do.

This. The idea of "State" building codes is the dumbest 17ing thing on earth... "Hey Bob, I am out here at the Iuka site waiting on the STATE inspector to make sure I have the rebar chairs spaced properly before we pour the concrete.... He's driving up from Jackson.

What in the actual 17 are we even talking about with a state building code? Who the 17 is or could enforce that dìpshittery?

So you see no danger from Putin, as he has made it absolutely clear in his own writings, taking the first step to recreating the Russian Empire? I suggest you take a look at the territorial extent of that old Empire. Putin is a Russian Imperialist. He has made his aims crystal clear. You remind me of the idiot isolationists prior to WWII that refused to take Hitler at his word in Mein Kampf. There are EXTENSIVE territories of the old Soviet/Russian Empire that Putin has explicitly stated that belong to Russia that he wants, and we are committed by the NATO treaty to defend. Personally, I'd rather give the Ukrainians the material to fight the fight that they WANT to fight than commit our own blood to do it. You obviously want to see our own sons die rather than give Ukraine the material. You value our money over our son's lives. Make no mistake we WILL pay the money. The only question is who dies. You absolutely DISGUST me.
