yeah, zoning laws are such bullshit, and don't even really achieve anything except making living near your work difficult.

anyhow, i always wanted to live on a farm and do farming as part of my work. not all of it, since i'm a programmer but with the internet homesteading and working at the same time is very possible.

the other thing is that the industrial produced food is so bad now that it's not just fringe anymore to want to grow your own. both vegan hippies and based bitcoiners and paleo people want to raise their own livestock and/or grow gardens for their own food supply. it's absolutely abysmal what they sell in shops now, and if you have allergies, like me, it's a torment to be stuck not being able to have a veggie patch and some chickens and goats.
