I think to some extent we've made it impossible to live truly cheaply because those making laws can't fathom someone going wxthout modern services. I'd prefer NOT to have a paved road to my door, but because of the assumption I need that the costs of road building are a reason not to permit building. I'm ok with off grid power, composting toilet, and rainwater collection too, but it's assumed I want a sterile wasteland (a lawn) in front of my home and will need to water it.
