Someone else suggested that neighbors should simply hire each other, and pay each other the same amount.

They could sit in each other's homes. When the police come, they would say "I can't give you permission, this isn't my home, I'm the hired security guard protecting the property".

Catch 22. -- The police could & would arrest you for being an unlicensed security guard.

BANG!

The city is only safe for the Elite's hired security. It is unsafe for anyone else to be there. /dripping sarcasm
