    Thanks for the information. It confirms my impression that my dream is impossible.

    I wanted to build my own house myself, which is a massive challenge. But the idea that it will be made twice as difficult because of other people, not the challenge itself, made me give it up. I wouldn’t have the emotional stability to tolerate that.

    I’m not a fucking corporation wanting to profit from other people’s work. I just want a place to live! I fully support all possible regulations and fees scaling with the intended profit and people hired, but how come someone wanting to get a place to live have to put up with the same as someone wanting profit? Or worse, usually even more, since parasites have many ways of avoiding tax and other things…

    And the price of land is a consequence of the same issue: that the market is made for “investors”, vampires, undead and other horrors.

    The rest, septic tanks, solar system, etc, they are just natural parts of the challenge. Nothing to complain on that, quite the opposite; how easy it is now to generate your own energy with solar is a great show of progress. There will be costs with that, or with linking to the structure someone else paid and provided.
