Two points,
Firstly the village I live in is within a MATZ, but I regularly see people flying sorties like this between 7 and 9 in the morning before the MATZ comes active. They are generally considerate, but I wonder sometimes what they are going to do if the engine coughs.
Secondly, a colleague flies from his own farmstrip which is behind his house. He had great fun one day when somebody turned up with a photo to sell, asking the salesman to try and explain what the large green rectangle was behind the house (and clearly visible in the photo).
