Actually this is nothing new. I looked at getting a few acres of property in southern New Hampshire a few years ago just to set up a small "camp ground" for myself. Not happenin'. If you want to even try to do this you stand a much better chance of doing so on unincorporated land. Even then you really need to fly under the radar. It's all about zoning / tax revenue.

I'm trying to go galt. Only thing stopping me is the fact I can't sell the house. It must be a really bad market or so I heard ;)
I'm not going to let anything else stop me. I'll still have to pay my government rent (property taxes) but beyond that, they will have to come kill me before I give up my newly found "freedom". Only thing I have going is my new "home" is so remote hopefully it's forsaken enough, at least for a while. All I want is to be left alone...I guess that's just asking too much?

Quote:Our farmers cannot allow any of their human cropland to lie fallow. Bingo  Say you have 1000 slaves working hard to deliver your bounty. One goes off on his own and just sits there. You can't allow that. One, your not getting your piece of his hard earned labor and two, what if the other slaves got the same idea? The usual method of enforcing the correction is that the other slaves would get all worked up: "He's wierd", "He's an oddball, let's get 'im". That doesn't seem to be working anymore.

More than anything I think this was a land grab by the county. His property right on the main road going into Alexandria. Its still bull****, but I think if he were in a more remote area he would have not been hassled as much.

I think the problem is, the land is 'unimproved' as it sits and he still gets to live on it. The 'unimproved' label of course means he pays extremely minimal property 'rent/tax' to live there. If someone were to build a house and add electric/water/sewer services, it would quadruple the value they could TAX.

Simple solution for him: tell them he has converted to Amish..ism and his lifestyle is a religious thing.

I'm surprised the Amish are not fined for the pollution their horses leave on the road.

Very important note I read about this guy a week or so ago:
One of the biggest reasons he is living simply is because he DOES NOT take 'his share' of social security.
I will try to find the link to the article, I think it was in the Indy star or some other localish paper a week or so ago.

@Natew - wow, I hadn't heard that...so there's possibly the other side of the problem. They have absolutely NOTHING to hold over this guy. He's living without the government in any form and they're*****ed.

Winston, exactly the same thought occurred to me. Why can't he claim he's Amish? Why hasn't his attorney thought of that?

Why would you claim something you're not just to keep the government from trampling on your rights? He's HUMAN...that's enough...

This is a foremost example of what is essentially my biggest bitch ... TPTB have rigged the system so that it is well-nigh impossible to live a decent life apart from the dominant culture unless one is considers living under a bridge & eating out of dumpsters a "decent life."
