0:00 Okay. How many families are going to live in there? 40. Can Can the residential plumbing even accept all that Vietnamese dookie going down the drain? [laughter] That's a ████ ton of Vietnamese dy. >> This guy knows his code, bro. >> Vietnamese dookie. All right. So, there's a situation here where some dude, a Vietnamese guy, built an extension to his home, and it's so large and unsightly that uh a lot of people are trying to have complaints about it. I wanted to see what your opinion was on whether or not this would be something where if you live next to it, would you have a problem with this? >> Do you know if he got all the proper permitting? >> That's exactly what I was thinking. He did get all the prop. >> Oh, he didn't do it Asian style, >> but like like how you know these things happen when you get the proper permitting, but then the build ends up
0:51 being um a little bit off from what the plans were supposed to be. Uh the dispute is that it's like a few inches over the line that it should have been, but I think if you're just driving by, you're going to have a bigger issue than uh the placement of it. Oh ████ This is the building question right here. >> Yo, that looks like a freaking apartment complex. So, it's three stories. >> Wow. On the side of his house. The reason for this is because he said that um >> it's the ultimate burr. [laughter] >> It's not even uh finished. It's just It's the >> It's not finished. No, it's not finished. But it's but it's um it's a Vietnamese family that he said he wants to have like a multi-generational like uh have like different um you know the grandmother, him, the kids, they all
1:41 want >> the whole squad. >> But how did they approve a threestory structure next to the singlestory house? >> They approved it. The the dispute is that it's sitting a little too far into this uh other like the line right here. That's where the dispute is, not the height. Maybe Fairfax has crazy zoning laws, but the way that I see it, most of the West Coast states would have a ████ ton of pro uh problems with that. So, there's like airspace, like how much airspace you take up, >> how wide the driveway needs to be. A lot of them there's like ratio specific, like your ADU or whatever extension has to be a percentage of the current one. So, if your current house is like, let's say, 2,000 ft, it has to be 80% or less. That's bigger than the original. Yeah, that's ████ >> I've never seen anything like that. >> Yeah. Is that huge? >> Yeah, that would like never pass in LA,
2:32 Vegas, ████ Seattle. Like that's insane. >> I want to see the blueprints, dude, cuz that just looks like like 400 square feet wide going all the way down. >> Yeah. >> Like where's the driveway going to be? >> And like some states would be like the minute you hit a threestory structure now you have to put in an elevator. I don't know if they got an elevator in that ████ That's crazy. That is nuts. >> And the neighbor the neighbor said that um he doesn't So the guy that lives here >> Yeah. >> he said that he likes that family and they're very nice and he didn't have a problem with it >> until >> Yeah. But then as it got bigger it's like >> he's like what the >> blocking the uh the sun for his house. >> Yeah, man. So this is why some people would say this is why they like HOAs cuz that would never happen in a HOA. >> Yeah. Yeah. cuz in a in any type of like building in a HOA you have to get all
3:23 your neighbor signatures too. >> So he wouldn't sign off. He would be like what the hell sorry ████ that. And then >> but I think there's a lot of people like it's funny cuz in the comments for a lot of these things I think many people either don't own a home or they just don't understand. They're just like he can do what he wants. He bought his house. Like he can do what he wants. And then and then people are like yeah but that's going to lower the value of his neighbor's home. And they're like why? It raised the value of this house, which means that goes up, too. So, I don't know. >> If it's within the city's regulations, he technically can do whatever the ████ he wants. >> Who approved that ████ >> But yeah, to I highly doubt that that's like permitted um plans cuz like look, there's no other home in that whole neighborhood that looks like that. >> Maybe that one does. [laughter]
4:13 >> A school. That's crazy. What would you guys do if that ████ like sprouted next to you? >> I'm moving. >> Damn. Really? >> Yeah. >> You're not going to fight with them? >> It's not worth it. >> Yeah, >> cuz you're going to spend all these legal fees. >> What if you can't even sell your house now because it's next to that piece of ████ >> Turn it into a rental. [laughter] >> I'm getting out of there. That already sounds like a nightmare to deal with. >> It sucks. The thing that's sad though is that he was saying they interviewed that Vietnamese guy and he was saying that like because of >> what the problem. [laughter] >> Hey, in the Vietnam I built everything from bamboo. >> He does kind of sound like that. >> How many Okay. How many families are going to live in there? >> 40. >> Imagine how many ████ cars are going to be there. It's going to be like >> Yeah, dude. >> That's why he's building the parking garage on the second side of his house.
5:05 Can Can the residential plumbing even accept all that Vietnamese dookie going down the drain? That's a ████ ton of Vietnamese dookie. >> This guy knows his code, bro. >> Vietnamese dookie. >> You know how many toilets be flush? >> He's building a parking lot in the backyard >> and then he's going to Dude, everything is He's got plans, man. >> Let me look for the thing. >> Dude, there's more. >> Well, there's an interview he did. Yeah. >> Oh, let's I want to see what he says. >> Crazy. I'll find the the um >> Oh, yeah. It's going viral, bro. >> Hey, but shout outs to this Vietnamese guy for being able to have the capital to build a project like that. That's that looks expensive. [laughter] >> Or this looks a little out of place will get a load of this for his multi-generational family. >> In our culture, we um we like to take
5:57 care of our parents and send our parents to the nursing home. So that's the that's the reason why that I'm get I'm doing the addition. >> And as word is spread now driving by to take a look. [laughter] >> The county supervisor taking action approving a resolution to have planning staff re-examine the way zoning rules on height are written. >> A 30ft high wall 60 ft long has no place 8 ft from somebody's property line. We can't legislate common sense or aesthetics which we wish we could but you can't legislate that. So >> yes, you can come up >> with a ratio that will >> you guys are just some country bumpkins, [laughter] >> dude. No, honestly, you think Do you think they would? So if if they if they rule in favor [laughter] if they rule in favor against this and they go, "Hey, you got to make some changes to it, >> can they tear that whole thing down?" >> No, not afterwards. That's ████ up.
6:48 >> So So what do you mean they can't? If they didn't like if they did a un unpermanent build. So if he like did somehow find a loophole and bypass the current system, the new laws are in place for new projects. >> It's grandfathered in. >> It has to be or else he can have a lawyer and sue the city and and then now get like 10 million out of it. >> Technically, he did follow procedure to do this. Like he didn't do anything shady. >> I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. He got it all approved. And so when you go to different cities like you know some cities you try to get a plan approved and you have to go through a book >> because they have everything written out to prevent ████ like this. >> But when you have those country bumpkin type cities that are like oh just make sure you follow common sense aesthetics but >> yeah yeah >> then it's like a two-page report like oh the your common sense definitely my common sense my common sense story.
7:39 [laughter] Then you're like oh ████ I be a hotel man. So, say >> they just weren't ready for a Vietnamese neighbor, dude. That's all it was. >> Say after the review they found out he did do something shady or something that wasn't correct. >> Oh, then he has to correct it. >> So, do would they they they still wouldn't be able to tear down the whole thing. >> They would have to correct the parts that he was shady on. >> So, like let's say let's say nothing was listed about height. >> Yeah. >> He can keep the height, but now he has to move it in three inches. Ah. >> So, that's probably the technicality they're trying to get him on is, oh, you got to redo it all because it's it's 3 in over the property line. >> Yeah. So then then they can say because it's three inches over now you got to take down that whole wall. >> Yeah. But that's man there's like >> that's a real issue, huh? >> Based off of what I've seen and what I've seen in like in like West Coast and Southwest projects, >> it doesn't even have enough windows to
8:29 support >> that kind of structure cuz you need a certain light light to uh square foot ratios like you know amount of sunlight. Like a a structure that big you would need most places require two sets of staircases. >> Oh, >> I'm like I don't think that thing has any of that ████ >> And that roof is just flat, dude. It's not if it has snow and all. >> Yeah, there's no ████ chimney. Like what the hell? >> I mean, maybe it'll look better when it's done. I don't know if he's going to try to match it to the rest of the house, but >> depends on like what loopholes he'd be like, "Oh, that that just >> I wonder what this fool does, bro. >> That in the garage, man." >> It's like when people do barn dominions. That's actually a loophole property, but they do it with good taste. >> What did you say? When they do what? >> A barn dominium. >> Barnuminiums. Okay. >> Damn, dude. >> That's so funny. >> It's funny, too, like when people are
9:19 like looking at that and going that's not going to affect anyone's property value that raises it. But it's like imagine trying to be the realtor for this house >> and you got to explain to every prospect that like you're going to live next to a freaking >> non neighborhood in [laughter] a non HOA neighborhood. If your grass grows this big, you'll already get a ████ notice from the city. You're bringing down the property value. Cut your grass. It's unruly. Whatever. >> That's ████ like that, dude. That's crazy. >> It is pretty. Uh >> I be getting notices from the city. >> Oh, really? >> Yep. >> Dang, dude. >> What's your notices? >> Cut your goddamn lawn. [laughter] >> Stop walking outside with your butt cheeks out. >> No, but I had some three feet weeds. So, >> maybe you can cover your lawn with some threetory structures. [laughter] Wow. >> Yeah, that's wild, right? Show that to Thatchin. Could you live next door to a
10:10 property like this? >> ████ no, dude. That means >> What about if you're on the other side? >> He's Vietnamese. [laughter] His architect's Vietnamese and his ████ contractors. >> You know what I realized though? >> Electrician [laughter] Vietnamese. >> These white neighborhoods are not ready for Asians. Like, they have no idea what they'll do cuz like >> loophole kings, man. Bro, in Hawaii we have uh monster houses where uh Chinese folks would just be like, "We don't need a backyard, man." And then they'll build these like threestory mansions that are apartment complexes. >> Yeah, dude. >> Damn. >> So outside it looks like a mansion. Like a baller lives in there, but there's like 40 cars cuz it's all Chinese cooks. >> Oh, wow. >> And then they build them like dormitories. >> Smart. >> That's what Mon Park looks like. Like whatever the property line is, the house maximizes it. So it's on the line. >> Yeah. So it's a huge house with zero
11:01 yard. >> They don't believe in no gardens, no yards. They just make it a big concrete plate. Dang.
