:dead_horse:  he had the ability to, and the funds to comply but refused. you completely ignored the important facts:     1) the city passed a law requiring sewage and water, to attack cobb. (that alone is a gross misuse of the legal system and warranting of protest)    2) the city passed a moratorium on construction making it impossible for cobb to legally install sewage and plumbing in the allotted timeframe.    this leaves cobb with zero legal options. if he goes without plumbing, he's breaking the law. if he puts in plumbing, he's breaking the law.
