    SHED ON MY OWN LAND. DIRECTLY NEXT TO MY NEIGHBORS LOT DIRECTLY AGAINST THE PROPERTY LINE AND FENCE AND THEIR GARAGE. THE SHED WILL BE FILLED WITH FLAMMABLE CHEMICALS LIKE GASOLINE AND ILL RUN MY OWN EXTENSION LINES TO IT AND BECAUSE I BUILT IT MYSELF THE ROOF WILL LEAK

    Sorry I live in Boston and libertarians move here from farm land where houses are acres away from eachother and get all pissy they can’t cram their shed in the 4’ gap between their house and the one next to it. We’re constantly 1-2 libertarians away from a block wide fire consuming a dozen houses

      Right, this is the part that Libertarians fail to grasp. Liberty comes with responsibility, and responsibility breeds liberty.

      In some cultures there is enough civic engagement that they can mostly be trusted to build sheds which don’t become oil soaked termite nests after a few years. People take that responsibility seriously so they have more freedom. In the US, the attitude is almost exclusively the purview of childish edgelords who don’t care that their behavior impacts others, which is precisely what breeds the need for dumb regulations. The regulations for building a shed are exactly as dumb as the people building sheds.
