I assumed they would only plow public streets (kind of like how my neighborhood is all private streets, so any pavement, sidewalks, light posts, etc. maintenance is on the community's dime, and not handled by the city/county). But, I live in desert, so in retrospect I shouldn’t be making assumptions about something so foreign to me that it might as well be fiction.


Snow plowing is a mixture of public and private services depending on where you live. In heavily urban areas, it's run by the government either directly or through contracting with private businesses.

EAllusion, would your brand of libertarianism include every person being a sovereign nation? What would it look like in its simplest form?
