Already many neighborhood associations maintain the roads and lighting in their neighborhoods. These are open to the public. You are absolutely correct. Note, however, that these associations are a form of government in that they have a coercive power. Every member of that locale MUST pay for that lighting. As an outsider, I cannot buy a house there unless I agree to these terms. Your example illusrtates my point.
Hehe, funny thats just the way the private free market works. I cannot buy a hamburger from Burger King unless I agree to their terms. I know what you mean but a neighbor hood assoc. is a voluntary form of gov't. I have a choice, not like the US gov't. although many have a choice there too. LOL, we can always leave for elsewhere if we don't like the way things are run. Called voting with your feet, and I expect increasing numbers of people to do it in the coming decades.
