And does that describe typical sheds?

Depends on the county/city. maximum size, or if it has water. Or
how much power. Trust me, as much as I'd like to just wire it to
"good ol boy" standards, SWMBO is of a different mind.

Why would you possibly want to go "good ol boy" when it comes to power?

Because the main difference is I don't have the bond / license. I
have known enough folks who did/do know what they were doing to rewire
their house, and by placing a receptacle where the power from the
street will get plugged in. Thus, the entire house was "an
appliance".
(Likewise I heard the inspectors tell the department head, that if
he hardwires the new lathe, it will cost minimum of 1500 to get it
inspected and signed off on. OTOH, if he has a plug attached to the
wiring so that it just plugs in, the same inspection and certification
is $500.)

That's only one of the problems living in a totalitarian city.

Don't be ridiculous. Any city with dense construction and a history
of catastrophic fires will naturally put in place rules to prevent said
fires from reoccuring.

Given modern money driven politics, it's not surprising that purchased
politicians put rules in place to favor their doners, whether big biz
or unions.

As I learned in the military (and it applies elsewhere) if the
Sergeant does not like you, he can quote chapter and verse as to why
it cannot be done, "with all due respect, sir."
If he does like you, he can quote chapter and verse as to why it
cannot be done that way, "But there is an alternative.".

Knowing the system, lets everybody be happy. IF you sign out of
the base at on minute after midnight that is when your leave / travel
time starts. As long as you sign back in before midnight of your last
day, you are good to go. I heard of a case where an airman got
himself killed in a car wreck, at 2 AM Monday morning, traveling at a
high rate of speed away from the direction of the base, at a distance
where is would be highly unlikely for him to have made roll call. But,
that was not sufficient reason to consider him any other than an
airman out on a pass, not intending to go AWOL or desert.
