I’d rather live in the woods off whatever I can plant/kill than work my a** off for the average salary in the USA (~$28,000/yr).
IMO, anyone should be able to buy property and inhabit their own structure at their own risk.
Property tax, building codes, EPA, etc, etc are simply there to keep freedom unaffordable and the tax slaves on the plantation.
Don’t forget real estate taxes, aka “tribute to the lord of the manor”.
