‘Dirty hippies’ lose 25-year battle to save their homes after their community was deemed a 12-acre bio-hazard

A California commune filled with ‘dirty hippies’ is closing down after losing a 25-year battle with its local government.

The so-called ‘Yee Haw’ commune is a 12-acre makeshift settlement in Trinidad, California, a remote seaside town with a population of about 300 residents.

Its supporters said the commune’s longtime owner Charles Garth provided a makeshift option to combat Trinidad’s steep housing costs. About ten people currently live at the commune.
