>can't get building permits for very nearly ANYTHING outside of town limits, not allowed to live on properties outside of town limits, exact opposite of the US where outside of town limits is the only place where you can do whatever you want
>building permits within town limits subject to the strictest imaginable building codes, down to the color of the fucking roof tiles, every new residential construction ends up being a bland, heart shattering, overpriced box
>house to be connected to public utilities, otherwise it won't be classed for habitation
>houses classed for weekend/vacation habitation (i.e. countryside bungalows in bungalow communities near the woods) are VERBOTEN to inhabit permanently
>hell will freeze over before you get a tiny house on wheels approved as a habitable building
>tl;dr comfy remote affordable permaculture homestead with a tiny house fucking never, enjoy your soul eating suburban box or rental apartment for the next 60 years
