To live off the grid people will have to move out of the cities and into a rural area.

There was a British sitcom called The Good Life: Suburbanites Tom and Barbara Good decide to leave the fast lane and become self-sufficient in leafy Surbiton.

yes. They are pissed as hell we have those cars and trucks out there....
they are trying to shame off grid homeowners into feeling like they're squatters. I think you'll see more of this in urban areas like we saw in Idaho.
take your hand out of my pocket and leave me alone

Well, it's a great looking cover.
I get your point now - it's about if a property owner wanted to remove any dependency on the government they were living under, could they do it? Cue dramatic movie music as we have a siege scene. The government throws switches and cuts off your internet, electricity, gas, water, etc, and tries to starve you into submission.

hi lionel. last question first. We could even call it the Matrix if we wanted to. Copyrights are very narrow. Keri Knutson is our cover designer. She's got another great one for our second book.
My point is, You'd think property rights could override these situations, but more and more counties and cities are enacting laws that are making it tougher for homeowners to be allowed off grid. I know alot of gulchers in here are counting on an off the grid option if TSHTF. I was curious if they were watching the development of this story.

I'm not parsing something right in your sentence. Are you asking if there is a stronghold in the USA where everyone lives off the grid? Are you implying everyone believed the US was a stronghold for off-the-grid living and this is a cause to think otherwise? Or do you mean the USA was thought of as a stronghold for the principle of private property rights and it's time to rethink that? I'm a little lost due to the brevity of your sentence.
On a completely unrelated matter, who designed the artwork for your book? It looks great, but I'm wondering if anyone from The Matrix has written you a letter yet.
