I guess if they were my friends, and I cared that much for them, I would help out non-monetarily, if asked, or if they accepted that offer. Otherwise, I'd have to let them do what they are going to do.
As far as building it on the cheap, and avoiding permits 'for now' and getting permits later. I suspect if they avoid permits now and try to correct it later they will be in a for a very rude awakening with fines and being shut down until everything is done properly. Not anything I would want to go through.
It sounds to me like the clientele they are targeting won't care about ameneties or safe/secure camping... and if it's a starving artists commune, I suspect they won't mind not paying (since they likely will have little to no income), and they, in turn, will 'prey' on the good will of others to give them another shot.
Can you post the GPS coords of the property? I want to keep an eye on it so I can buy it cheap when it collapses.
