Living free from government dependency is harder now in Cape Coral, FL.
Robin Speronis, has been ordered to hook up to the city’s water supply because she’s ‘violating codes’. The ruling came from Special Magistrate Harold S. Eskin last Thursday.
“I know how to live off the grid completely and in a sanitary way,” Speronis said in response, “That’s what seven months living in the woods taught me. I do have an alternative toilet from my days of living in the woods.”
Land of the free? Of course not! The State wants you dependent.
I would do as I was told..I would hook up then turn it off…I would be legal but I would never use it…
i WOULD TELL THEM TO TAKE A LONG WALK …OR GET READY TI GIVE ME A LOT OF MONEY ( AND YES THEY CAN LOCK ME UP THEN I GET 3 HOTS AND A COT AND MORE RIGHTS THEN I HAVE NOW!!!
FBI OUT VIOLATING THE CONSTITUTION TOO! STRANGE NO? THEIR PAYING MORE THAN DOUBLE NOW, FOR WACO?
MAKES YA WONDER HUH,,, THIS IS ILLEGAL,, THEY CANT FORCE YOU TO DEPEND ON THEM,,, CODES ARE NOT LAW
f…ing govt GET OUT OF OUR LIVES,
What is so Wrong About a Rain Barrel?
In my township they went around citing people who had water capture systems. Rain barrels to cistern rain water for use in watering lawns and gardens rather than using their hoses. Our townships storm run off goes into a creek system that goes to the Delaware river and out to sea. It isn’t reserved or utilized. for township water or city. It just flows away. The township code officer said that it was against code to divert rain water. If you didn’t remove your rain barrels you were fined.
Why? Because it is against the code.
Can we get a variance? NO you must get the code changed.
What is the reason for the code? It is the code.
We have never gotten a real answer. But many of my neighbors still have a downspout with a diverter in it which used to lead to a rain barrel. Now it just looks awful hanging there. But looking awful is not against code except if it involves height of grass, poorly trimmed hedges or the colors that you choose to paint your home.
Land of the Free? I understand if you live in a condo development but in a normal neighborhood. I thought that since I bought my house I would have some say in how I decorated it. I am not talking about codes involving safety. Side walks should be in good repair. Homes need maintenance so they do not collapse. Bad electrical wiring can cause fires. I am talking about paint, gardens and rain barrels. When does the intrusion end?
When did or neighbors get to dictate my choice in paint? Why am I a danger because I prefer an herb garden over flowers? When there are actual problems and needs being unmet people are wasting their time on decorating rather than making sure that the foundations of our town are strong. One thing my town needs to concern itself with is that there are too many empty buildings that used to have manufacturing in them. We have lost Zenith Electronics, Ford and Visteon, General Signal, Smurfit and stone, Metal Fabrication, Deluxe check printing, and Genuardi’s, Bottom Dollar and Clemens supermarkets as well as the center of town McDonald’s.
We have in our town seven thousand people. Add the small townships that call us there town it goes up to twelve thousand. Those of us who have obs have to travel around an hour to get to work. What a waste. Gasoline, traffic congestion and time. Why do we not consider things like this when we talk about carbon footprint or Global Warming. We travel too long and too far to get to our jobs without a good mass transit solution.
Oh well I am going off on a tangent again. My point is I miss my rain barrel. I still do not know why I cannot have it back. Maybe we can refocus ourselves onto real solutions to real problems. What do you think?

Well (pun intended 🙂 ), you can always move out of the city. Here in NH, I have a well and a septic system. But even that does not excuse me from local codes and ordinances. Even though most of the town have their own wells, we are still subject to summertime watering bans because we all (including the town’s 4 municipal wells) use the same water table.
Don,t hook up. This dirt town I live in tried it with me, that was 20 years ago.
If we don’t vote these Socialist Democrats out its only going to get worse
Voting them out won’t do. They have to be dragged out and publicly hung for treason and crimes against humanity. Then we’ll see how many khazars want to stick around and continue to rape America.
I’m a free man living in a freedom loving country, ha ha not anymore. If you want that back your going to have to fight for it, freedom doesn’t come cheap. It must be obvious by now what has happened to this country & to the world. What does everyone think of rich politicians now!
