You and your friends or family or religion can go buy property together and do whatever you want on it... I assume the land use is unrestricted.
the challenge comes when they or their ancestors want to borrow against the property to build, rebuild, start a business whatever. Eventually someone will want to sell... and at that point, things will get interesting.
David Koresh says you are wrong about that....but that was a group of primarily white people, so no anti-government movement started.
There were comments about not being able to enter into commerce and I spoke of 'unrestricted land', I thought the confines of those activities to otherwise legal uses was clear. Unrestricted land doesn't include illegal activities. WHile it may have been a lie, Koresh and followers had little issue with the government as I understand it until there were reports of illegal guns. I didn't think I had to specify that you can't engage in child pornography or building a nuclear reactor. I clearly meant they could farm... they could buy goods from outside... they could sell goods to the outside.... they could get jobs off the property and they could hire people to work on it. They could engage in any LEGAL commerce or activities.
As I stated above as long as they followed local ordinances.
Yep...
and Beard... I apologize if the above comes off as snarky... It wasn't intentional. I tend to get that way when multi-tasking at work... very cold and dry... not personal nor intentional
