I knew a guy in Kali. who could not get zoning approval for any house design.
He owned the property free and clear, boats were not covered by the regs, so he bought an old displacement hull wood plank 60' and had it taken in by helicopter.
Was NOT cheap, but he had an instant house, and the county was unable to do a thing about it.
I'm sure it's still there, Santa Cruz mountains.
