Citrus county, FL (a better place to live?)
I highly disagree that Citrus county is a better place to live. It is a bad place to live. One is dictated at every facet of living or improving ones life or property. Just to do the simplest task must be done with the purchase of permission, or permits according to a "code". This county is a leader of having become a dictatorship aligned with that of Germany some 70 years ago with storm trooper enforcement goons tramping on your personal property (without permission) hiding behind the excuse that a neighbor tattled on you. The inquisition if you will, searching behind every tree, under every rock, and interrogating as they go. The citizen is a criminal in their eyes and they will prove it according to every ridiculous and demeaning "code" a commissioner can dream of and hustle through every other Tuesday at (when?) 1PM on your work day afternoon.
A good guy, bad guy scenario is in existence in Citrus county whereby the neighbor whose friendship you should be enjoying is encouraged to tattle on you for any ridiculous reason, creating a hate and animosity amongst citizens. This is divide and conquer type of control by government against the citizen. Control officers now stomp across your property, trespassing, uninvited, and intimidating. An individual on a power trip, with camera in one hand and clipboard in the other, judge and jury against the property owner knowing they have the backing of governmental extortion if you do not comply with their wishes. If you do not cooperate fully, be blackmailed. This unfriendly government will fine you and lien your property from you. As a property owner you are at the disadvantage as you can see.
As a Constitution abiding, citizen born, raised, and taught in this United States of America, I want the rights I have been promised as I grew up and then spent time in the Army and adult life to enforce. I want the privilege I have by nature to think and learn for myself. I do not want the hell of embarrassment, harassment, threats, and intimidation brought against myself and my neighbor who build, repair, invent, create, new ideas, and think by a narrow minded government who demands every one and everything be uniform and sterile.
I am selling out of Citrus County (and out of FL). I, as a free American, can not and will not attempt to survive my retirement years under a dictatorship or anything akin to it. It affects ones mental and physical health. I have many thoughts and much to say on this subject. Th
