The economic system is a slave system. It could be otherwise but it isnt. The last thing the government wants (short of being shot on sight) is for people everywhere to be fully self sufficient.
My city has pushed a zero-waste thing for years. At one time I was generating one bag of garbage per month (just because I don't buy lots of packaged foods and don't eat out). But they would not let me take the ~$25/mo. weekly trash service off my utility bill.

Hopefully he can move to BLM land (the other BLM) but that land isn't all that great... Not many water sources and usually in the desert. People do live out there though, off the grid. Look up earth ships.
There was a guy who I used to talk to on old voat.. he built himself a sandbag house basically underground. It has a gravel 'foundation' and gravel 'walls' outside the sandbag walls for drainage and insulation. The structure is about 6.5 feet tall. 4 feet underground. Has an earth roof. You can make them double thick with gun ports if you wanted. Then you have a 4 foot deep foxhole with 2 layers of whatever you want to put in the sandbags, and your only visible footprint is the 2 feet above ground.
I agree that most requirements to use city utilities are harmful. The one issue I'd have is his use as hiw own night soil for fertilizer. If he's doing it properly it's probably fine, but when you build residences that close together the odors can be offensive and it can spread sickness. If his neighbors have been tolerating it for years then it's probably not being done wrong. If it's generally permissible and a lot of people start doing it and some of them don't do it properly then it'd be difficult to track down the culprit.
This is a consequence of having cities and selling what are essentially entitlements as well as property. It's also not something that's easy to deconstruct.
