In many municipalities in the southern US, like Florida and Arizona, it is indeed alreadly illegal to grow vegetables in a spot visible to a public way - i.e., in front of your house.
People have been fined & prosecuted and they will take your house if you don’t pay the fine, all this is happening right now
I love the signs which are ubiquitious along the entire New England coastline - “No dogs, fire, or alcohol on the beach”…that nicely encapsulates the activites than 90% of people were doing at the beach. Remember the expression “beach bum”…that comes from the 50’s when people that liked the ocean simply parked vans or pitched a tent down at the end of the local beach and stayed, often surfing. All illegal now.
There’s a 6.5-mile long federally controlled beach near my town which does not even allow flotation devices in the water - no surfing, boogieboarding, float mattresses, etc. The message is clear: go home.
