Regulations are driving the cost of housing through the solar-ready roof.<\/p>\n

Parody of Florida Georgia Line’s “Dirt<\/a>” written by Remy; performed by Remy;\u00a0<\/i>mastering by Ben Karlstrom.<\/em><\/p>\n

LYRICS:<\/p>\n

You need the lot bigger<\/a>
Need this log thicker
You need to pay a really pricey, licensed pipe fitter<\/p>\n

You can’t put floors on it
Or put more doors on it<\/a>
You need a sweaty dude to inspect on all fours on it
I’ve got buyer’s remorse on it…<\/p>\n

It’s that permit approval<\/a> the county is stuck on
That each minute passing you’re spending a buck on
The constant code changes they’re running amok on
The traffic studies<\/a> you’re stuck on
It’s a roof that you must ensure is ready for solar<\/a>
The toilet you’re using the flushing is low-flow
It’s front, rear, and side setback standards that leave your lot sparse
Makes it hard to build a 10 percent down white picket fence house on this dirt<\/p>\n

You need a soil study
You need to check for mummies
Will we be done in ten months? Maybe, if you get lucky
Just a few more thousand…
I have no money…
This might be a bad time to add…<\/p>\n

It’s the windows you need to ensure are efficient
The fees for inspections<\/a> and permits you’re given<\/a>
The chargers for spots for cars with low emissions
My bill and anger have risen.
It’s the laws that require material-using
The costs that accrue for specialized disposing
It’s the part of the land to the government you must revert
Makes it hard to build a 10 percent down white picket fence house on this dirt<\/p>\n
