Left home alone?

I know that pigs can hold their bladder a long time, but I’m wondering how long you’ve left your pig alone inside? I’m not talking on a regular basis, but in an emergency or on rare occasions how long is the longest they’ve been alone in the house, assuming they have access to the whole house, or at least a full room.  I’m just gathering info :) 

eta - I know this is pig specific, but anyone have cameras so you know what they do while you're gone a long time? Or experience with the pig getting destructive when left alone inside?

I have two pigs - one used to be indoor (the butt, below) and is now outdoor, the other has only been outdoor. Right now, they have a ton of outdoor space and no neighbors. But I may move and they will become indoor pigs with a yard and neighbors. I'm spoiled in that I don't have to think about them and can come and go pretty much as I please. I'd prefer not to leave them in the yard while I'm gone, due to concerns they could scream and disrupt the neighbors, as well as predators. But I am also concerned about being tied down to the house such that I'm limited in what I can do.

Seller agent's duty to disclose superseded by buyer's inspection?

I recently purchased a home and afterwards the seller’s agent told me that they felt my termite inspector wasn’t good - the exact language of what she said is below:

“I also asked him about the termite damage on the facia board on the second floor and he informed me he does not go on the roof”

I understand that it was my inspector that missed the damage, but she also just admitted that she knew of or suspected termite damage and did not disclose it.  I thought agents had a duty to disclose - or is that superseded by a buyer’s inspection? Or are they only required to disclose actual reports, even though it sounds like she knew there was damage?

Do I have any recourse?

I purchased a home and my agent told me both she and the seller’s agent were each going to give $5k to get the deal closed (long story why). After it closed I asked where the 10k was and she said that the money had to come through escrow but no one put it in the instructions. She said I wouldn’t be able to recover the 5K from the seller’s agent, but that she would give me 5K when she sold my house. I've decided not to use her to sell my home so I won't be getting that $5k either. Is there anything I can do to get this money?

edited, changed some language

Hey all, I’m currently zoned for my pigs, but I’m looking to move because the isolation has been bad for my mental health. However, I’m having a really hard time finding somewhere that I’d want to live that also will allow my pigs. What’s important to me - liberal; some tourism or other influx of people that creates some vibrancy and/or diversity; educated, single, and/or lgbtq people; in or near a metropolitan area; homes close enough to have community and see neighbors on the street but not so close to be paranoid about every pig tantrum (this is my biggest anxiety even if I do find somewhere zoned properly - how do people deal with a screaming pig when they have neighbors?); mild weather. I know this is a tall order.

I am currently in an agriculturally zoned area in Los Angeles, but I miss having the community like I describe above and used to have prior to moving here. Being out here has been devastating to my mental health and the only reason to stay is the pigs. I had no idea zoning would be such an issue and, tbh, I probably wouldn’t have gotten them if I knew I’d be so geographically trapped.

I’ve been doing a city-by-city zoning search (and being discouraged by the results) so wanted to see if anyone had ideas. I’d prefer to stay in California, especially Southern California or the Bay Area, but am open to other western states. I think the biggest thing really is finding my people again and, unfortunately, it seems that my ability to have my pigs and live somewhere not detrimental to my mental health are beginning to look mutually exclusive.

Pics for tax.

Note: I am aware they are allowed in San Diego. If you live there and have pigs, how has it been for you? If you don’t own, how has it been finding rental housing? Issues with neighbors?
