If it is being tampered with, then it isn't free. Or is that what you meant?

Building codes also prevent a wide array of construction techniques that are
cheaper and safer because the building industry is entrenched in the code
setting aparatus. So when an industry is using the law to maintain a
suffocating monopoly on their market, and it is being sold to the public as a
safety and property value maintenance scheme, is that really such a good thing?
I challenge you to build a cob home in any city in your country or mine that
has a population of over 100,000!
