Der kalifornische Architekt Kendrick Bangs Kellog preist sich auf seiner Website so an:
Er verteidigte das Recht, in ländlichen Gegenden ohne Baubwilligung zu bauen. Er wehrte sich gegen ungerechte Energiestandards, die den Einsatz nicht-erneuerbarer Energiequellen nicht unterstützten, weil diese Standards nur die Taschen der Isoliermaterial-Hersteller füllen sollen.

Kellogg was given a governor-appointed position for four years as Commissioner of Housing and Community Development for the State of California where he defended the right of the people of California to build in rural areas without a building permit. He also defended the people of California against unjust energy standards that did not encourage non-depletable energy sources, and that were contrived to increase the pocket book of the insulation manufacturers, who were on the deciding board at the time.
