Tiny Homes NOT Allowed: County Commissioners & State Rep SLAM Youtuber For Standing Up For the Poor!

"The prohibition of tiny homes in Haywood County has sparked significant controversy, especially after YouTuber John Ward's video on the subject went viral, prompting a county commissioners' meeting. In his video, Ward highlights the county's refusal to permit tiny homes for victims of Hurricane Helene, questioning whether the commissioners will act to prevent residents from freezing this winter. Commissioner Terry Ramey has advocated for suspending certain housing regulations to assist flood survivors, emphasizing the urgency of providing warm shelter. He has collaborated with local churches to develop temporary "Rustic Cabins" for those still living in tents. However, these structures have faced pushback for not meeting residential building codes, as they lack required amenities like bathrooms. Ramey plans to address this issue at the upcoming county commissioners' meeting, seeking temporary relief from stringent codes to ensure residents have safe and warm accommodations during the winter. He acknowledges potential criticism from his appearance in Ward's video but remains committed to aiding his constituents. The debate underscores the challenges of balancing regulatory compliance with immediate humanitarian needs, especially in the aftermath of natural disasters."

Former FEMA Employee Shares New Info After Losing Home to Helene…

 "In this video, a former FEMA employee asserts that FEMA is compensating individuals for disaster relief efforts. However, volunteer Evan Vilardo disputes this claim, explaining that neither he nor the other volunteers assisting have received any payment. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is a U.S. government agency under the Department of Homeland Security, established to coordinate the federal response to natural and man-made disasters. Its primary mission is to help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from emergencies, including hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, wildfires, and other significant incidents. Asheville in the surrounding areas, have faced unprecedented devastation, not only from Hurricane Helene but from the catastrophic failure of nearby dams that unleashed torrents of water across the region. The combined forces of the storm and dam breaches have tragically claimed hundreds of lives, with recovery teams now finding victims in trees and other unlikely places where they sought refuge from the rising floodwaters. The aftermath has left the area severely contaminated, as the mud coating the landscape is toxic, posing ongoing health risks to survivors. Residents report waking up with nosebleeds, likely from exposure to hazardous materials in the air and soil. Disturbingly, some rivers now flow in reverse due to the altered landscape, and a strange green sheen has spread across the water, adding to the eerie transformation of Asheville’s waterways. This disaster has left lasting scars on the environment and the community, raising concerns over the long-term impacts on the region’s health and safety."
