And THAT is the camel’s nose under the tent:
We provide roads, therefor WE can tell you what you can do on your property.

Well, yeah. Isn't that the whole point of keeping government out of as many things as possible?

There are entire "towns" in Florida that have no real government at all. They're run by private companies that function just like a municipal government, charging residents fees for things like street maintenance, security services and fire protection, parks, garbage collection, etc. I'm guessing there's something unique about Florida state law that makes it an attractive place for this sort of thing, but I would think that you can do this in a lot of places if you're willing to start from scratch.

We provide roads, therefor WE can tell you what you can do on your property.

Alternatively, you can ask your government to provide the roads and then don't give it any authority over anything else. That's the way it works in most parts of the country, and you can see the impacts of it with chronic, recurring congestion in every major U.S. city.
