You&#x27;re really not trying to sell me on the idea here.<p>Show a little enthusiasm.  If &quot;you have to negotiate with every homeowner for sidewalk access on your way to the store&quot; is such a good idea and leads to expansive new freedoms, it shouldn&#x27;t be at all hard to make a positive case for it.<p>So, make a positive case for it!  Show me how my freedom&#x27;s increased in this situation!  Instead you&#x27;re just whining and insulting me.  If this is a good idea, surely you can do better than that.<p>Especially since, on a techie libertarian-leaning forum like this, I&#x27;m even asking you to make a case.  Go into a suburb somewhere and tell people about this and they&#x27;d look at you like you had a third arm growing out of your head.  I&#x27;m the <i>easy</i> audience here.<p>Wanna try again?
