@@crystanubis Land/building are not personal things, legally however their isn't much of a difference in practice unless you don't pay taxes. In America almost all land and buildings owned by the government and are rented out to everyone. That is why off the grid living is never truly of the grid unless your a homeless hippie or a person rich enough to own a RV or just a big as car to live in. Private property just means that only you, people you and or the government authorize are allowed on your property. People like to think that they own their homes but there are a lot of situation in which the government can legally and in most cases unethically seize it.

[@Skyfoogle]

vincere terram when the US was conceived the majority of american soil was divided into plots primarily free for anyone to use. businesses, farmers and families snagged plots of land and built america. the majority of land, housing and buildings people purchase are commodities bought from its previous owner, not the government. the US has levels of government, not one all-encompassing government that all of your money gets funnelled to. the majority of your taxes go towards your local government to maintain the area that you live in. the roads that connect you to the rest of the continent, a police force to mitigate the threats people can pose to your safety, and firefighters to prevent your belongings from being destroyed. if land isnt owned by another party then its owned by your local government. however since community growth is often encouraged, government owned land doesnt cost much. the federal government taxes you because youre living in a geographical area being defended from external threats, under a law that needs to be enforced to maintain stability and to provide the basic services needed for societal function. democratic governments are certainly corruptible but any other alternatives arent much better. the question is, do people want a world where they have absolute ownership of their property? would the freedom from taxes and government jurisdiction outweigh the toil of protecting and maintaining your own property, while relying on corporations/organized groups to provide infrastructure and affordable services? im sure most would agree there needs to be a unionized authority that provides for the very basic needs of a society. of course theres a problem when these authorities seize too much power but its either the world is ruled by governments, or monopolized supercorporations who will buy out and control every possible commodity. as depressing as it is, theres no such thing as true freedom in human civilization as we know it. perhaps when we evolve cognitively and slowly begin to abandon shallow desires such as greed and power can we move on as a species.

Why cant these "artists" be content to get a job and join the rest of the world? Or if they want to absolutely spend time making art why not perfect their craft in the privacy of their own homes and one day open a gallery and get paying contracts or something instead they just want to lash out at the freest country in the world that allows them to do this. If you lived in communist china or something where they beat you to death in the street if you dont agree to the politics or wtv THEN its cool and actually rebellious cuz your living in an oppressive system trying to mold you into what it wants against your will and life there is mundane and absurdly meaningless when you dont have control over your own destiny. Nobody is forcing them to do anything they dont want to do besides get a job they cant even appreciate the freedom they have to just be left alone. But left to their own devices they just destroy.

I told a buddy one time I could make his plain white cinder block wall look like the rock on his house. Then I did. Somebody else saw it and wanted it at their house and so on. Cheaper and easier than a real stone wall, hard to tell at a distance. At one house I painted all the exposed outside electrical boxes and conduit to match the brick behind it. Poof, they're gone. At one house I added a gnome sized door, a window and flower boxes. I know, it's not graffiti....but it pays well for side jobs. ( hahah "side jobs", ....walls).

There is no easier in this case, if anything because of the older generation the sentences for graffiti became heavier. In my country 30 years ago you would be a month in jail max.
