EW, it's called being a responsible adult. Your hypothetical family could live somewhere else on section 8, legally. They want the benefits of country living without the responsibility.
That said I lived illegally in Puna for years, loved every minute of it and would do it again. BUT I was not visible by road or neighbor. Didn't make noise, nor grow weed to attract Green Harvest and ripper drama, had excellent sanitation system, quiet and respectful. Then I grew up and realized many thing such as neighbors who busted their azzes to build to code depend on the neighborhood being to scale to maintain property values. Why? A multitude of reasons such as needing to sell and relocate for their childrens education. If I was selfish and childish I wouldn't care if I dropped their property value and the downward spiral that creates for others.
That said I'd do it again but on larger acreage, even one acre parcels are no longer private since the building and population boom. The family and their dwellings in question here don't exude responsible living decisions. Dogs and goats tethered to trees, questionable plumbing and basically a chaotic dilapitated unattractive setup. I sincerely doubt they would plant a privacy hedge.
