Robin Speronis had been living in an off-grid home for many years without incident, until she was interviewed by a local FOX affiliate in November of 2013. Shortly thereafter, the city of Cape Coral tagged a “notice to vacate” on her property, due to multiple code violations, all of which stem from the fact that her home isn’t connected to water, sewage, or the electrical grid. The city has tried to argue that she is in violation of the International Property Maintenance Code for relying on rainwater and solar panels, instead of utilities.
Since that time, Speronis has been fighting the courts for her right live off the grid. Magistrate Harold Eskins recently ruled that she can live without using water or electricity, but she still has to be connected to these utilities no matter what. Despite his ruling, Eskins admitted to the press that the code may be unfair, “Reasonableness and code requirements don’t always go hand-in-hand.” Despite his supposed sympathies, he still feels compelled to enforce the code.

America use to be a free country
ReplyDeleteWe have become what we declared independence from.
The Amish are going to be pissed if Pennsylvania passed a law like that.
ReplyDeleteDoes that magistrate realize that MILLIONS of Americans lived "off the grid" their whole lives and did well?
ReplyDeleteKeep cheering.
Here we have just one more example of someone [a judge] who is in a position to help America return to it's roots., it's intended structure but instead, sides with the oppressors of freedom. It's clear he owes a favor, has been payed or is owed for his services., business as usual for the judicial system.
ReplyDeleteAmerica hasn't been free for a long ass time!
