    Yes I can, and I do. There are parts of the USA that are more free than others.

    I have solar panels and batteries off grid, in addition to grid power, along with a large garden and livestock in my backyard. We live inside the city limits in a town in the USA. I do what I want on my property, and nobody hassles me about it.

      To add to your point: I’m squarely in the suburbs. Several of my neighbors raise chickens, we’ve got raised beds on the front lawn, and a greenhouse converted from an old lanai out back. I’m not unique in my area either.

      Your American experience may vary.
