A city in Florida recently tried to do this to someone. Robin Speronis This is dated july 2014. As far as I know, she is still in the off grid home. They did some horrible things to her, but I hope it backfired on the city and they leave her alone.

Ingred Larson received an eviction notice from the county today. Why? For living in a tent on her own property. Yes. Really. She is being evicted for living in a tent on her own land.

But we see in many cases, they do the opposite, and force you to get connected to their proverbial teat, pollution and all. You're only allowed to be green within their pre-determined limits.

There is such a thing as the property owners not owning the lands BELOW ground they own, built on and developed....due to the gov. owning mineral rights. But, doesn't seem right that zoning laws or not...that they can evict her from her own property.
They can keep her from living in the tent as its not a "structure" per se, but I think she'd still own the law and not be thrown out of owning it.

It's not mob rule, it's a social contract and by wanting to live like a civilized person, she should have to follow civilized law. Like I said, if you have trouble operating within the confines of society and the rules that people expect to come with it, don't pretend to be a part of society. It really shouldn't be too difficult for you to understand.
Ahhhh.......social contract. Funny thing about contracts. Both parties have to be aware that the contract exists in the first place. I have never seen this supposed "contract", nor do I even know the wording a terms. And for a contract to be valid, it must be signed. And I definitely didn't do that.
This invisible "social contract" is totalitarian nonsense to justify excessive statism and intrusion.
I understand you don't want civil, property, personal, human rights to be pissed on, but, we don't get to pick and choose which laws, social mores, norms, etc we get to follow when we want to be part of civilized society.
You don't understand? I'm not a communist. But I do understand that accepting the benefits of living in a society means that I can't do everything I want to do just because I want to.
I don't understand at all why *anyone* in the US believes we are a free country when you need permission from the government to put up a fence. I guess most people are communists and are too dumb to know their own beliefs.

I do enjoy my rights but I do understand that my rights end where yours start. Am I a communist?
