You write this as if your land is a sovereign nation... Regardless of where you are in the US you are under many layers of government(by the people/your neighbors) that absolutely regulate what you can do on your property.
Heck the people can even legally forcibly aquire your property if the will was there.
- forgetfreeman 2y agoI feel like we're having some kind of vocabulary issue here? My neighbors (the individuals who own property bordering mine) are neither legislators nor lobbyists. As such they have no access to the legislative process, and thus no control over what is or isn't a legal use of my property. To be absolutely clear "The People" can't do a damned thing. Local/State/Federal government is another matter entirely to be sure, but it's not like my neighbor can walk into the county courthouse and reasonably expect to have legislation drafted that alters land ownership rights.
- kcb 2y agoUnless your neighbors are convicts or something, they have access to the legislative process. If you're doing something on your property that annoys enough of your neighbors, those neighbors call in to a local representative, an ordinance gets passed, police show up if you keep doing it. This can and does happen. Maybe you live in a county that's really lax, but still there are local laws in place that got there pretty much exactly by some neighbors getting together and bugging their representative.
- forgetfreeman 2y agoIt's like you watched the "I'm just a bill" video and that was the end of your research into how government works... Your naivete is charming.
- kcb 2y agoSo how do you think local ordinances get passed into law? I'm not talking about congresses next trillion dollar bill.
