When _isnt_ stupid shit about people excercising control over others? People love to live in tyrannys where they get to have their own little piece of the tyrannical power. This is the platonic structure instantiated into the Karen avatar.

I live out in the country where if people aren't helping each other, they are at least staying out of the way. And when the offcials get too far out over their skis, the landowners do something about it.
At one point recently, our county commissioners were mad that so many people were moving in from California, so they limited well sizes to the point where it would be difficult to build a house. The ranchers got pissed off at that because they needed the "excess" flow for the cattle and forced the commissioners to change the policy.
That's the way things work put here.
I have designs to move to Montana in the future. My experience out west is that many people out there still remember freedom and thirst for it and will protect it with all their lives. I don't expect that spark to return to the east coast for a long long time.
That's the case in my North Texas county. The officials know what the limits are and the sheriff's dept know they are vadtly outnumbered. When the deputies come to properties (we've had one visit), they are extremely courteous. I believe in the case above, they told the commissioners that they would not go to properties to deal with well violations because it would be too dangerous.
Civilization rises and falls on water rights.
A good police force is such a positive thing. When I was growing up, we had a small police force, they actually patrolled neighborhoods and stopped to get to know people and were members of the same communities.
We bought our property primarily for its water access. Same for most of the people around us. We are on top of the Trinity aquifer. Never ending supply of clean water.
Need a good neighbor?
Always.
If you see any good buying opportunities happy to receive them in DMs and will keep them confidential.
Sure thing. Land is going for $25k/acre in my area because of the water access.
I might need to take a road trip and take a peek. Might be good to get some just in case it catches on.
It's a decent area about an hour north of DFW on I35.
there will be signs:

That's not a bad spot, especially if you want to be away from DFW. Wichita Falls has enough in it.
