Sorry, someone already “owns” that land. Your home is prison now.
Looks like a real life hobbit hole.
It’s like Minecraft in real life
that looks super cozy though (until you have insects, spiders and bugs in there with you)
That’s why you get snakes. They keep the bugs away
Probably terrible for your lungs too with all the dirt and dust
Only $2500 in mortgage? There’s plenty of room for everyone.
What? Automated food supply?
BUY! BUY! BUY!
FRIENDS!
Bitey, bitey frens 👁️🫦👁️
Still need to buy the land your hovel is on though
In the UK this option is still illegal as you need permission from the council to live on your own land. I guess it’s sorta similar to zones in the US? You can only stay on your land for 28 days of the year otherwise. You could probably manage a while before you get found but they can demolish anything you build there and seize the property.
In the US, we do having the concept of “residential” zoning. Though I’m thinking that applies more to the structures being built there. I’m thinking building this kind of thing and living in it might not actually be illegal? Depending on what you are doing with your waste (like piss and shit) they might get you for some kind of health code violation. But barring that I think you might be able to get away with this. (But who would want to?) Maybe someone who knows better than me can weigh in.
Local ordinances and HOA CC&Rs can make it illegal to live on your own land unless you meet certain requirements, like having a specific type of permanent building (eg. no manufactured homes).
Oh for sure HOAs and CC&Rs. But assuming those aren’t in place, I’m still thinking this might be ok. And I suppose that’s a civil matter anyway, no cop would enforce that. And even if there was something on the books, I don’t think a cop would enforce that unless you were doing something else to piss them off or someone else. Like cooking meth for example.
Or buy 13 separate plots of land and move your hovel every other fortnight.
Not if I’m squatting on public land
I’m sure they’ll plan some forest fires to get rid of the undesirables from time to time.
And then keep paying rent to the govt in the form of property taxes every year. Owning land isn’t really a thing anymore.
Taxes have been a thing since Gilgamesh.
With egg prices the way they are, we won’t even be able to afford second breakfast. 😮💨
You forgot property tax.
Would you still love me if I was a mole?
Natural area, large garden, nah I’ll never be able to afford that!
Afford? You mean steal?
Get outta mah swamp!
In the morning, I’m making waffles!
