That’s just what people like Jill Stein, RFQ, Jr. and Elon Musk want you to think so that you keep throwing your votes away and checking out of society. Bring that sense of community back into pre-existing communities, perhaps. Is that not the MOST sustainable approach? 🧐

      That varies by location. Some allow buildings under a certain square footage or for certain uses (like sheds or agricultural buildings) to be built without a permit, others require permitting for everything. There are loopholes in many locations though. You'll have to check with your local permitting office to find out.
