I live in a town where the "roads" are private property and everyone has an easement to travel on everyone else's piece of what look like roads. Most of town budget goes to "road maintenance". Everyone understands their role, roads are maintained, and if government misbehaves we will chop our taxes and do the roads ourselves. By not owning the "road" property, government is kept in check and are our servants. There are also zero problems with parking on roads - it gets towed for trespass parking on private property.
- darkteflon 3y agoLove it - an excellent solution for a local problem. Sounds far more optimal for you guys than having government involvement. I consider that fine evidence that we over-regulate in some areas. I reckon there’s also a lot of evidence that we under-regulate in others. By contrast, I don’t think it’s evidence for a general proposition that any reduction in regulation is a priori a good thing - despite what the Murdoch press would say.
- landemva 3y agoYes, it is not so much about government regulation and more about people owning the property and infrastructure. Government ownership of property leads to lack of accountability to the people.
