This morning, shortly before sunrise, city officials and several police units came to the Trickhart's residence, pushed out the squatters, and erected a chain link fence around the entire property. One squatter had to be physically removed from the big, blue porta-potty which was an ugly, ugly mess.
I spoke to a police officer at the scene. He told me that even though the city had forced the remodel of the Trickhart home through an injunction it was still up to Nobert to get the proper permits and variances. Being one to always skirt the law, Norbert went ahead with the remodel without the necessary papers.
For anyone who is interested, I have been through the “building permit process” many, many times. I found it to be one of the best managed governmental services provided by this, or any, city. The process is inexpensive, quick, fair and painless. So other than sheer hubris there was really no reason for Nobert to go against the advice of his family, friends, neighbors and city officials and not to abide by the law.
