    This is very misleading. He tried to live in a broke down trailer on zoned property in the city limits. They are well within their rights to enforce ordinances.

    You can’t live completely off grid on 2 acres. He’s put a mobile home (not a cabin like the picture) in a community that is zoned for no mobile homes. He needs to move farther out, where he can get more land and not have the zoning regulations. He had to have been told the zoning when he bought because it is required to be in the sales paperwork.

    If you know it’s going to be against ordinances then why build there? You can hook up but there’s no law that says you have to use those utilities.

    that..then is the problem..zoning requirements..why is it okay for someone okay to buy land only to be told how their structure has to look…who cares..if your not living there..property values? not likely..more timea than not its people who just want who are vain and want to seem relavent to what they own or their status in life…poor souls..

    There’s a difference between living off the grid and living in a run down trailer in town with no utilities

    The government needs to let people live on the grid like they want

    That’s just wrong. Y can’t they just leave ppl alone. Its so sad how they just steal and rob ppl. And they can get away with it. I do believe in karma and everyone gets theirs. The Lord will have the last say in everything.

    Definitely should have made sure there was no restrictions before he purchased property.

    It’s a trailer not a cabin. Still, it’s a product that no one should be forced to buy. Let them connect and just stop paying the bill. After a few months they’ll stop providing it.

    Unfortunately in city limits you get more stupid rules. The number of acres is irrelevant you can live without utilities in a zero lot line if your property isn’t stolen by local government to fund even more nanny state bullying. He would however be more free further into county where no one gives a crap what you’re doing.

  11. Thomas Manse said:

    So it’s only off grid if you don’t have neighbors near by? He has power, this story is old, he has solar and a cistern, not exactly without utilities, just not buying them from local government.

    A man should be able to live on his own land the way he wants to live. If that means going to solar or other means of electricity then so be it. Big Brother or any State,County,or City should not be able to tell you how to live. Well water, Septic tank, Trash Disposal, all done to “code”. GET OFF MY LAND!!

    Why live under a government that don’t allow you to live a free life, that’s just dumb, your land your life who the hell has the right to tell you how to live it.

  14. Lynda Goodwin Lapine said:

    Rob Wright , the town in which you live does. Besides, we all pay property taxes to those towns and communities, don’t we? You can choose to live elsewhere.

    215 years!!! So I know just vote more!! Doing the same thing the same way over and over while expecting different results has certainly worked out well so far!!!

    I’d rather be dead than putting up with unjust country anyhow.$#%&!@*this kind of$#%&!@*

    They are paying more attention because governments abhor the thought of independent citizens that they have no way of controlling or oppressing them.

    And is a community way !!!!!!!!!!
