There is a special variety of human nature obtained in the Social Kingdom by a process analogous to that of the gardener's craft in the Vegetable Kingdom, to wit, by the forcing-house-a species of hybrid which can be raised neither from seed nor from slips. This product is known as the Cashier, an anthropomorphous growth, watered by religious doctrine, trained up in fear of the guillotine, pruned by vice, to flourish on a third floor with an estimable wife by his side and an uninteresting family. The number of cashiers in Paris must always be a problem for the physiologist. Has any one as yet been able to state correctly the terms of the proportion sum wherein the cashier figures as the unknown x? Where will you find the man who shall live with wealth, like a cat with a caged mouse?

The Division of Codes and Standards in the Department of Housing and Community Development is pleased to provide this handbook as a guide to California housing construction codes. Improved awareness of the state laws, regulations, and building standards will improve compliance and reduce housing construction costs and delays. The Department of Housing and Community Development (HCD) encourages homeowners, design and industry professionals and building department personnel involved in construction, maintenance and use of residential buildings to read this handbook. Further, HCD encourages each enforcing agency to issue appropriate personnel a copy of the California Building Standards Code discussed in this handbook, and a copy of any enacted local ordinances making modifications. These steps will help to ensure uniform application of statewide standards that are adopted to benefit both builders and residents, as well as local standards adopted to ensure health and safety in specific geographic areas. Readers of this handbook may find it beneficial to begin with the Glossary provided in Chapter 8, especially those new to the study of building codes. At the time of this publication, additional guides are being developed by HCD to supplement this core publication. The guides will be subject matter specific, provide additional guidance and further enhance user awareness and understanding in the following subject areas: * California Green Building Standards (CALGreen) * Water Re use and Conservation * Accessibility for Covered Multifamily Dwellings Note: The photographs provided in this handbook depict completed and under-construction single family homes, multifamily dwellings, and hotels.
