Hypocritical campaign targeting affordable trailers & tiny homes creates more homeless people than county government creates housing for

A three month long investigation initiated by Sonoma Independent, the award-winning public interest solutions and advocacy website, reveals that Permit Sonoma ordered property owners to vacate 189 inhabited dwellings between September 1, 2020 and August 31, 2021.

These citations, enforced by threats of fines of up to $100 a day and liens against properties, resulted in the eviction of more than 150 low income renters from safe trailers, converted barns, tiny homes, yurts and other modest dwellings during the past year for the simple reason that they were, in almost every case, ineligible for permits.

My friend is one of the people impacted by this, though she is fighting eviction. On top of all the other awfulness about this, is evictions taking place because of composting toilets in tiny homes. When in truth, composting toilets are a sustainable way to return our excrement to the living soil instead of wasting water dumping it into sewage.
