As I said, I&#x27;m grateful that yours is such a fringe view.  It&#x27;s still jarring to see someone actually posit &quot;no commons would be an improvement,&quot; but the more I read what you have to say, it jut gets sillier and sillier.<p>Especially since you&#x27;re trying to bolster support for your claim that &quot;you gain freedom by having to negotiate easements with anyone whose sidewalk you&#x27;d like to use&quot; with the new claim that &quot;it&#x27;s just like buying stuff at the grocery store!&quot;.  Well, ok, except it isn&#x27;t.<p>But hey, you know, if your ideas were so compelling, it seems like you&#x27;d be able to find a neighborhood somewhere where you could convince people to try out the experiment:  &quot;everyone sell&#x2F;negotiate access to sidewalks for everyone else&quot;.<p>I mean, if it&#x27;s such a good idea, surely you could get some people to try it, and then they&#x27;d see what a lovely new feeling of freedom they enjoyed, and the idea would spread from there?<p>Come on, ancap, let&#x27;s see your fringe ideas grow and take off.  Enough philosophizing, let&#x27;s see this thriving new free society of sidewalk easements!  After a few years of sidewalk easement negotiating under their belts, the people in your experimental neighborhood should have some pretty compelling &quot;new feelings of freedom&quot; results to share.<p>In fact, this really doesn&#x27;t seem like so big a challenge at all.  So, where&#x27;s the beef?
