I do own a house I had built on rural property, and there's a lot more lattitude (you might call it "freedom") for what you can do on your property.

On the other hand, no matter where you live, there's always a few "karens" in the neighborhood who will do what they can to keep you from say, renting your property out and having large numbers of otherwise homeless people setting up a tent-city. (that seems to be one of the hard limits).
