I live out in the country. Out here it is mandatory that each house must have atleast one vehicle that does not move.
Seriously, we picked this place as it is far away from any kind of subdivision. No onebothers us out here, Not yet anyhow.
But we don't push it. if you drive by our place, it is very neat and clean. Just another boring house in the woods. But go in back and there are cars and trucks that cannot be seen from the street. Not a bunch just a couple.
It is all about what can be seen.
Our place is very isolated. but I am still careful.

And there is no covenant out in the country. Know the zoning codes and if you are gonna do things, do not advertise. if I am working on a project in the driveway during the day, my truck is across the driveway, blocking any view from the street. Projects that have to be in the driveway overnight are covered by a big tarp. And if the garage door is open, my truck is parked to block any view from the street. Not that there is much traffic, but I would rather people do not know what i am doing. I take no chances. Not that I am doing anything wrong. But I know one ugly truth.
The sad truth is that there are too many people with far too much time on their hands. They love to mind other people's business. And it only takes one.
case in point, my brother buys a house on 5 acres in YuppieNoisyville, CT. He loves it. I look at it and know he is gonna have problems. Why? You can see all the neighbor's houses from his. Even tho it is 5 acres, his house is in the middle and the neighbors are located right over the property line.
Sure enough, one of his neighbors is a total jerk who has no life other than to wonder what his neighbors are doing.
He works on a car in the driveway with the music playing, here come the cops. is the car stolen? Is he stripping it? Is it registered? Turn down the music. Why is he making noise on Sunday?

10 years, numourous police calls over nonsense stuff, thousands of dollars in lawyer bills, one impounded car that he never got back, and much more, he finally moved. He could not even walk his property without the cops coming. He is down the road from me on in the middle of 16 acres next to a 6000 acre hunting preserve. He can do whatever he wants.

The truth is in this country in this century, if you want to "live free," look carefully for a place to live.
