It sounds like he's done a solid job of lighting a fire under the council, so good on him I say.

Better to ask forgiveness rather than permission.

Edit: how did I get that backwards?

I want to back this guy for that reason, but also.. steps have regulations for a reason. The spacing, relative height, angles, it's all exceptionally important.

If anything, this highlights the absurdity that some dude can build this in his free time for next to nothing, while the council takes 20 years and $20k and 20 board meetings.

Would you rather slightly irregular steps, or a muddy slope with no steps at all?

The steps are surely better than a politically correct muddy ass.
