You're right. Its spiritually fucked up for others to decide what I can/cannot build and it's literally my god given right to build any structure however I want withought the intervention of these spiritually deprived militant atheists.

These building "codes" are standing between me and jesus and that's that.

Depends on where you be.  I think a lot of (residential) places outside of major cities would not require any sincere sense of operational security regarding the evasion of new construction not up to code...I also  think the point of the code is to protect you and yours from dying in a horrific fire or collapse; but use your best judgement. Obviously the permitting costs associated are utterly non-libertarian but the principle of the matter basically stems from near miss reports and "green sheets" in the fire service industry. One or more firefighters + civilians have died for every incident that somehow becomes code.

In aus if it stands unnoticed for 10 years it's considered retroactively approved. Loads of people do extensions without development approval here. You could check out your local legislation, and see if there's something similar.

Here it is again "codes"

Codes for satan himself.
Every line of this hateful scripture of "building code" and "property rights" keeps us away from the Allmaker himself

So if I can survive the ubsurd video game tier wildlife I can build whatever? If so maybe I'll say "my flock and I" when referring to building projects.

I'd be careful with that shit. I used to work for the city and lots of times you'd discover work done with no permit. Then it's like that pool you built is one foot too close to the house, fill it in and start again. I still talk to people who work there now they check your property via satellite don't even need to visit.

There were several really really bad fires and collapses at the turn of the last century that created the modern building codes we see today. If you look them up some of them were like hundreds of people died in a clip. we still see this sometimes in other countries with less strict fire and building codes where there'll be a major collapse and mad ppl die. The engineering or rather lack there of and physics on some of these that cause some of the most fantastic catastrophic structural failures are truly fascinating.  But yeah I think it was mostly the fires and things like dams and bridges going that did it. Chicago, Baltimore, San Fran. Hell the great molasses flood of Boston which reached its centennial this year. The St. Fransis dam. South Fork dam of 1889 more than 2000 lost, unbelievable devistation. Of course one can never forget the Iroquois Theater fire. I believe it was something like 600 people died that night. I mean that's pretty extreme.  :shrug:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_New_York_(1776)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_Pittsburgh

Here's a few of those fires, and without building codes we'd likely see more.

The "i don't see how it benefits me so it should be abolished" attitude really only proves how myopic people can be.

What about incidents like that club that went up in flames and people couldn't get out because they were over capacity and everyone was struggling to get everyone else out of their way?

Sometimes, that's why their work is supposed to be checked by inspectors. Contractors usually know where they can safely cut corners and they definitely don't cut as many as a homeowner would.

You have clearly never seen the cardboard hillside city in Tijuana.  Big rains of 1995 washed a slurry of mud cardboard and people down the river/street.

No, ripping people off was never considered being a savvy business man. Yes, some codes are made because people have died and others are to prevent death or injury. When electricians first started installing lines I think about 50% of them would die on the job because it wasn't fully understood yet.

IMO not wanting bulding and local codes is really dumb. It effects everybody, not just the people living in a shitty house. In some cases government regulation is great, and this is one of those cases.

Building codes are the difference between near total destruction in Port-au-Prince after a 7.0 earthquake and almost no destruction after a 9.0 in Tokyo.
