So much freedom in the United States … can’t even grow your own garden.
pretty sure you can't grow gardens in NZ too.
This is just completely out of my frame of reference. Why not? Who are opposed to this?
this might be of help
This was a fun read.
Yes I can, and I do. There are parts of the USA that are more free than others.
I have solar panels and batteries off grid, in addition to grid power, along with a large garden and livestock in my backyard. We live inside the city limits in a town in the USA. I do what I want on my property, and nobody hassles me about it.
To add to your point: I'm squarely in the suburbs. Several of my neighbors raise chickens, we've got raised beds on the front lawn, and a greenhouse converted from an old lanai out back. I'm not unique in my area either.
Your American experience may vary.
I'm in the US, in a neighborhood. I have four chickens and a small ~110 m^2 vegetable garden.
