>criminalize basic things like gathering rain water and raising your own chickens
What are you talking about? Are you serious Desantis wants to ban homesteading? I need some proof of this!
I'm confused, yes Florida and some red states banned abortion, so did mine. But we don't have any covid mandates, nor do we have any laws against homesteading or raising livestock. Only the major cities have those kind of zoning codes. Everywhere else you can pretty much do what you want uninhibited with next to no permits needed. And there are no "work camps" people are being forced to go to. Jobs yes, but voluntary and you get paid.
>Decided by the states
Yep. Found a site that gives you a State by State review for homesteading and zoning code laws:
https://www.primalsurvivor.net/living-off-grid-legal/
My State ranks "Excellent" and Florida ranks "Good" which is the second best ranking.
Here, this breaks down ALL the zoning laws in Florida from city to rural: https://www.primalsurvivor.net/florida-off-grid-laws/
Here's what is says about raising livestock in Florida:
"Agricultural zoning is most compatible with living off grid in Florida. You are generally allowed to farm and raise animals. There usually are no minimum home sizes, so you can live in a tiny manufactured home.
However, you can expect minimum lot sizes, usually starting at 5 acres. Some agricultural zones require at least 20 acres."
I'm guessing that means it's a county by county thing which makes sense, there are State laws and then local ordinance laws too, and local laws can vary. This is why it is important to know who is running for local political positions, always vote out the Agenda 21 freaks who want to incorporate more land.
