27 Well, we know this guy isn't building his treehouse in California. He'd need:

1. Building permits for anything more than 120 sq ft. (fee applies)
2. Inspected for setbacks (fee applies)
3. Inspected for height limit (fee applies)
4. Inspected for daylight planes (fee applies)
5. Conditional Use Permits (CUPS required, fee applies)
6. Arbor Evaluation to determine trees involved (fee applies)
7. Overall building permit determination (massive fee applies)
8. Property line determination and restrictions (fee applies)
9. Finished interiors qualify for dwelling inspection (massive fee applies).

TOKYO — A man was arrested after stabbing eight people and injuring seven others with what was believed to be bleach at a tire factory in central Japan on Friday, officials said. There was no immediate explanation of his motive.

Eight people were taken to hospitals after being stabbed by the man with a knife at a factory of the tiremaker Yokohama Rubber Co. in the city of Mishima, in the Shizuoka prefecture, west of Tokyo, according to the Fujisan Nanto Fire Department.

My wife and I had a marriage ceremony in a park where she (tried) to wear heels. No bueno. After 3 or 4 steps she just stepped out of them, picked them up and finished out the ceremony barefoot.

The Mayor did inform her that she had Parks and Rec folks clean up the goose poop earlier in the day - so there's that.
