They moved in from outside the province and have been living on the property for two years and haven't even applied for a permit yet. That's a very generous interpretation of the word "building". It actually sounds like they want to live in a trailer on the property and stretch the process out as long as possible - like build a porch on the front of the trailer and say that makes it a permanent structure.

Sounds like racism. I'm surprised the dude is 85 and out there cutting trees.
Sounds like they got a break in bylaws for a fairly extended period but haven't exactly been moving quickly when putting up a permanent structure. RVs aren't meant for long-term habitation. It's unfortunately for them, but not unforeseeable.
Now bullshit line neighbors calling in the "man with a machete", that might well be racism, but the city telling them they can't live there in an RV is not if that's what the bylaws say
I agree the enforcement of bylaws is not inherently racist. However, I did get a racism vibe from the story. I wonder if race was a factor in one of the neighbors making a complaint
Then again, Im not the type to snitch unless something seriously uncool is happening (think environmental hazard).
