Exactly, try putting up a chicken coop in an HOA neighborhood and watch the shite hit the fan.

I poke fun at growing up out in "the country" (not really, but a hell of a lot more country than where I live now), but man.. we had some cool shite. I grew up with 7 domino chickens whose eggs we ate for years.

My parents always had (and still currently have) a massive garden. They have a standalone cupboard in their house that stores all of the veggies they've grown and canned, which we raid every time we visit. Green beans, canned tomatoes and basil, massive sliced and canned carrots, chopped and canned onions. Plus all the fresh stuff my mom brings to me - heads of green leaf lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, etc.
