Will the temporary shelter law finally get changed? Eco-Spiritual Permanent Dwelling Camper Cabins needed

 A new "tiny-house communities" article that is not posted online - in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, titled, "Small Homes, Big Hopes, states:

A federal law, the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act protects faith organizations from zoning laws that substantially burden religious exercise. More problematic is what is allowed under the state building code.

....

"...the houses qualify under state law as recreational vehicles that provide temporary shelter," she said.

 .......

So this is what I blogged on recently - a new tiny home community is being planned.

Clowdus said she is working with state officials on a process to approve the tiny houses "as permanent dwellings within a Sacred Settlement. It's no different than the camper cabins that we all enjoy in our state parks with centralized bathroom facilities."

 So parks often use composting toilets now because park natural resource managers understand a bit of ecology and so realize that composting is the natural and thus most efficient means of sanitizing humanure. It's called "ecological sanitation" in Sweden. Or EcoSan Toilets.

In fact, composting toilets are currently being used in state park systems.

So the implication here is that this Sacred Church Settlement - something I completely support and hope passes - is "no different" than "camper cabins" as "permanent dwellings."

So the key here is that a person could use the church as their "permanent residence" address so that the person could own a car - I would think - and use the car to get a job, etc. Whereas without a "permanent residence" address (meaning a building dwelling unit with a mailbox) then a person can't get a car license.

So obviously in a state park - the dwelling is permanent but it's only used as a "temporary shelter" - and so the idea is that the people living in the tiny houses at the church also would be using them as a "temporary shelter" on a month to month basis - I would assume - until they move to a different location, etc.

But legally the permanent dwelling as a camper cabin would now be recognized as an actual permanent dwelling residence with a mailing address for each tiny house, etc. This is my understanding since that is the legal meaning of a "permanent address" as a legal residence.

Yeah it says the goal is for the people in the Tiny Houses to then eventually be able to buy a home in the local neighborhood.

So my point is that we should see the Religion of Technology for what it is - and therefore recognize that Ecology is also a Spiritual legal right. So this is called Eco-Spirituality but it's not an "official" faith or church.  Well a few "churches" http://churchofthewild.com/ And a few Daoist priests... Yet if these Sacred Settlements are "no different" than camper cabins then logically the obverse is that camper cabins are also Sacred Settlements!

A mix of feces and urine won't break down in a reasonable amount of time. That's because the urea present in urine degrades into ammonia. It's not just smelly; it kills the microbes that would otherwise break down the waste.

This is why we use separating toilets for compost.

 Mixed human waste has enough ammonia to slow decomposition, but not enough to kill off parasites, said Lalander. To solve this problem, they say, you need to divert solid and liquid waste into separate chambers.

right...

 

 sure enough - the need for a separating toilet....
