The city of Huntsville, AL has told a couple who are living completely off their land that if they continue, they will be arrested for trespassing on their own land. You read that right, trespassing on their own land.
Military veteran Tyler Truitt, along with his girlfriend, has setup his home on two acres inside the Huntsville city limit. He uses a solar system to supply the property with power and collects rain water.
However, Huntsville is telling him that if he doesn’t get hooked up to city water and power, he could be arrested. According to local media coverage:
“They came and they condemned our house and told us if we stayed here we’d be arrested for trespassing on our own property, and the reason why is, they said, it was unsafe living conditions because we don’t have city utilities hooked up,” Truitt explained.

This is what things are coming to and it is absolutely ridiculous. Leave them alone for pete sake - so they figured out how to conserve and the city/county can't stand it because they are getting none of their money.
ReplyDeleteThat's the point. We are all slaves to the government. The dollar controls all our lives. How can a government sustain itself with its citizens not giving them money? The power & utility companies who have paid dearly to the cities and towns have a monopoly on their services. If this happens the deal made for them to be the only providers is broken.

ReplyDeleteEveryone is a vet. Blah blah blah. Your a fool to live in an city.
ReplyDeleteIf you decide to live anywhere you have to abide by their rules.
ReplyDeleteWithout running water they are dirty people. I do not want them going places and touching the same things that I have to touch spreading who knows what kind of germs on their bodies.
Cities and towns typically have the most stringent rules so if you don't like their rules then don't live in municipalities.

That's why you will never buy a home? I don't think that is the reason, I believe you won't buy one because you don't have enough since to save for a down payment and you don't have good enough credit. Any fool who doesn't buy his own home and rents in stead is wasting their money and making someone wealthy.

Right, just because you are a vet doesn't mean you are a sane person. Thank you for your service now obey our laws. If you don't like the laws then move to a place that allows you to break the laws?
"Dang, I didn't mean to kill my wife, I just wanted to throat punch her. I am a vet and she has been nagging me all day. I should be able to punch her without someone telling me I can't do it."
