Do they consider dog houses to be free-standing buildings? Bird houses?

"Instead they taught him that government and bureaucracy are soulless machines."

I think that's a better lesson than how to "navigate the process towards getting permits" for a damn bookshelf.

Since we're being pedantic, many cities have different rules for what is allowed in a front yard vs. a back yard, which may actually be the problem... this often leads to the occasional news story about the town that forces someone to remove a garden in their front lawn, etc.

That comment was the true definition of apologist. It honestly made me laugh, it's been awhile since I seen anything like that.
