We “rap up” our long lost “Citizen of Nowhere” series, and apply our theory of public space to present a unique perspective on the immigration debate. Can Hoppean principles justify open borders?

Non-Aggression Principle – applies regardless of whether land is owned or unowned You can do anything on unowned land as long as your use doesn't conflict with someone else's use Example – Homesteader fences established hunting ground Resolving use conflicts without property ownership Private Property ownership – a one-size-fits-all approach Governing the Commons – Elinor Ostrom How is an eviction right established? NAP – should apply to bodily harm only, not “aggression against property” Eviction – a privilege, not a right Theft is deprivation of use, not “aggression against property” What is aggression, is eviction What justifies eviction privilege? Right to defend yourself – applies regardless of who owns property Is this just semantics? On your private property, right to evict gives you maximum freedom on your property Norm / legal standard of eviction avoids conflicts Libertarian theory is consequentialist at heart – based on minimizing potential conflict over scarce resources Pre-established uses protected with an easement Hoppe example : How is it possible that formerly unowned common streets can be privatized without thereby generating conflict with others? The short answer is that this can be done provided only that the appropriation of the street does not infringe on the previously established rights—the easements—of private-property owners to use such streets “for free.” Everyone must remain free to walk the street from house to house, through the woods, and onto the lake, just as before. Everyone retains a right-of-way, and hence no one can claim to be made worse off by the privatization of the street. HANS HERMAN HOPPE, “OF COMMON, PUBLIC, AND PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE RATIONALE FOR TOTAL PRIVATIZATION“ Hoppe restricts public access to a (poorly) defined group of people Makes sense for a new (greenfield) gated community Rights are “path” dependent How do you determine who gets access? Burden of proof is on the road owner to demonstrate right of eviction Bill of Rights Fallacy Does this mean owner can't evict anyone? Michael Malice – Pitching a tent on subway tracks Owner can evict those who are acting outside the purpose of the easement An owner who evicts someone is aggressing against that person in the same way as a bum on the sidewalk – interfering with that person's use of the easement. Intended use of space matters You can't camp in a playground, and you can't build a playground on a homeless encampment You can offer a better solution Adverse use and abandonment Mitigation – common in development Government Owned Property What stops a 50 year old TSA agent from wandering around a school? The school wasn't established as a public space Distinguish between “government owned” space and “public space” Established uses matter regardless of ownership Stop calling government ownership “Public” “Government Owned” and “Non-Government Owned” instead of “Public” and “Private” Government Owned Roads Old, unowned roads Roads established as public access New, government built roads Typically created for general public use Public access not granted by taxpayer funding No way to determine who has a use claim – public access right should be maintained Roads not intended for public use Government (military) facilities, schools Once exclusivity is established, there is no public access Combination of Government vs. Non-Government Roads Privately owned parcels of land, interconnected by a network of easements Once you allow any easement, you necessarily allow a whole network of easements Encirclement A fractal network of easements Could you secure all easements before establishing a property? Your public space ends where my property begins A restricted access grid of roads is encircling every property within it Easement established by accessing property via any path An optimally free society is one that has parcels of truly sovereign private property with strong eviction rights, that are interconnected by a network of public roads and public spaces, from which it is difficult to be evicted. Immigration and Public Space No justification for limiting access to public spaces, as long as they are not interfering with the intended use of those spaces by others Hoppean immigration theory – invitation only Ownership of roads doesn't matter; road owners can't prevent an invitee from visiting Taxpayer funded welfare complicates the situation Hoppe, the consummate democrat? Place of birth has no relevance Interstate immigration can also strain local systems Allow building and investment to accommodate new people Poor immigrants disincentivised from moving to expensive areas Growing population is generally positive in a free market 100,000 people isn't that hard to absorb – just go to Houston What about 100,000 people per day? The worst life in America may be better than life elsewhere Keep them out until we can free the markets? Gradual vs. immediate transition to open borders The government can't stop illegal immigration now A single national border might be less defensible than local borders in every town People inviting immigrants aren't on the hook to support them – voters in New York inviting immigrants to Texas A fractal border – maximal surface area allows people to spread out The only conflicts would be immigrants impeding on established uses of roads and other public spaces – no different than a homeless problem Immigration is just a particular case of public space Gordian knot of public policy “Rap up” Road owners should not have eviction rights No libertarian justification for prohibiting movement In free markets, localities can adapt to migration Real world arguments People perceive roads as public access No simple solutions A reasonable compromise Links/Resources Dave Smith vs. Spike Cohen: The Borders Debate on Lions of Liberty Hoppe – Of Common, Public, and Private Property and the Rationale for Total Privatization Elinor Ostrom – Governing the Commons Episodes Mentioned Citizen of Nowhere Series ana007: Citizen of Nowhere | Part 2: Joe's Immigration Ordeal Public Space ana013: Private Ownership of Public Space | Part 1: Tim's Porcfest Speech (2017) ana014: Private Ownership of Public Space | Part 2: Exploring Opt-In Trusts ana019: Public Space: The Missing Link Between Freedom and Property | Tim's Porcfest Speech 2018 ana029: Hospital Space is Inhibited, so Public Space is Prohibited   Support Anarchitecture Podcast on Patreon!   Contact: Contact Us Twitter: @anarchitecturep Follow: Website: https://www.anarchitecturepodcast.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anarchitecturepodcast/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anarchitecturep/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/anarchitecturep/ Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/AnarchitecturePodcst Minds: https://www.minds.com/AnarchitecturePodcast Subscribe: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/anarchitecture/id1091252412 YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWELM_zTl7tXLgT-rDKpSvg Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5pepyQfA25PBz6bzKzlynf?si=4UiD6cLkR6Wd26wJC4S4YQ Podbean: https://anarchitecture.podbean.com/ Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=85082&refid=stpr Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/MIq2dOnSaTOP/ RSS (all posts): https://www.anarchitecturepodcast.com/feed/ RSS (Podcasts only): https://www.anarchitecturepodcast.com/feed/podcast/ Other Subscription Options Support: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anarchitecturepodcast Bitbacker.io: https://bitbacker.io/user/anarchitecture/ Steemit: https://steemit.com/@anarchitecture Donate Bitcoin (BTC): 32cPbM7j5rxRu1KUaXGtoxsqFQNWD696p7

We released episode ana027: 11 SPOOKY Fears about Short Term Rentals | ASSUAGED! on Halloween in 2019. Hours later, there was a multiple homicide at an Airbnb renter’s Halloween party in Orinda, CA. Tim wrote a blog post discussing this incident with a view towards understanding what went so wrong. In November 2019, Tom Woods interviewed Tim about the Orinda shooting and the broader topic of short term rentals. This was a more succinct presentation of our earlier episode, but they also covered some new ground. Since then, Tim has spent over a year arguing against new regulations on short term rentals in his home town in Maine. At the same time, he renovated his basement into an accessory dwelling unit (ADU) for short-term rental in a race against the clock. This episode starts with Tim’s interview on The Tom Woods Show, and then Tim reveals all the gory reality of small town politics. We close out with some profound lessons learned for libertarian principles and strategy. Use hashtag #ana033 to reference this episode in a tweet, post, or comment View full show notes at https://anarchitecturepodcast.com/ana033.   ----more----Intro Tim is now a recurring guest on The Tom Woods Show. Joe was not invited back. The Tom Woods Show, Episode 1542 Tom likes Airbnb “There’s no way that this is going to be interesting” Airbnb’s aren’t allowed in many NYC buildings Short term rentals allow people to generate income from an unused asset Concerns about depleting housing stock Short term rentals are a longstanding property right Single room occupancy (boarding houses) Nuisances Caution to libertarians: also defend property rights of neighbors Libertarians have thought about these issues more than anyone else The wedding venue next door – where every weekend is “September” Short term rentals vs long term housing Santa Monica, CA study – compared area with ban against areas with no ban – no significant impact found 2018 NYC study – 5,600 units off the market (out of 3.4 million) – 0.1% reduction in supply caused a 0.5% increase in rents? Permitting delays and costs taken for granted Airbnb’s role in mitigating nuisances Airbnb is essentially a listing service, but with their own terms of service Orinda Shooting House rule: No Parties “Airbnb Mansion Party” Renter charged as accessory to murder Airbnb three announcements Verify all listings Ban party houses – artificial intelligence to flag party rentals 24/7 neighbor hotline Party houses leading to bans and restrictions – why has Airbnb allowed them for this long? Regulating Short Term Rentals Mostly at the local level Bans Owner occupancy “One host, one home” Limiting number of days per year Existing regulations – Zoning – no transient occupancy Building codes NFPA life safety code – “family plus three” Licensing, permitting, registration Speaking out against regulations Study the existing regulations Address local concerns Listen to the neighbors Differentiate party houses Get involved – nobody knows what to do Home Rental Mediation Service Anonymous complaint service Noise violations difficult to enforce I think you have a really unique and important podcast. TOM WOODS Discussion Interview Reaction Tom doesn’t often say upfront how boring the topic is Tim immediately went off script Earth, Wind and Fire joke bombed Update on Orinda shooting – No convictions Airbnb response – changed policy to revoke service for party houses No more parties after COVID hit Bookings disappeared during COVID, but came back when Maine had low case count Airbnb verifying identities for listings Airbnb Neighborhood Support Team Tim Battles Town Hall A red flag – Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) ordinance, no STR in an ADU “A housing unit is a housing unit” Tim posts his L’s – STR’s now on the agenda Economic development committee meeting Tim sings praises of the Town Manager Is the Town Manager functionally similar to a privatized town? Only 3 or 4 problematic properties Noise ordinance enforcement – ambient noise louder than the ordinance allows. You can’t enforce intermittent disturbances Informal workshop – Town Council, Planning Board, and one community representative – Tim! “And then they asked what I thought…” Draft ordinance is a laundry list of the usual concerns Owner Occupancy requirement Registration / License Limit on rental duration Occupancy Limit Parking requirements “Is there anything you like in it?” “But there are just three more things…” Not invited back to the second workshop A list of listings Rule #1: No chainsaw races… inside the house Map of all listings in town Viability (or lack thereof) of seasonal rentals Ratio of listings in downtown area is consistent with the rest of town A lot of units were ADU’s or single room rentals Many listings on main roads, not in neighborhoods 72 Dwelling Units listed; 1.4% of all units in town Highest concentration in downtown: 5% of properties Affordable housing concerns 42 properties list the address as the owner’s mailing address 50% had 3 or more bedrooms Most units in more expensive areas Housing affordability crisis is caused by restrictive single family home zoning Only 12 owners outside New England – most are second (vacation) homes Short term renting requires constant attention to the property Short term rental empire – Tim is the only short term rental emperor in town. Data helps to debunk myths, but stories persuade STR income helps people to afford their houses Second workshop (without Tim) Business license requirement Minimum parking requirement – additional space required Occupancy limit – 2 people per bedroom Does nothing to limit big party houses Hurts 1 or 2 bedroom units 2 guests? 3 Parking spaces! A license is something they can take away Vague wording of “violations” Penalty: $500 per day. $180k per year? “None of that stuff got a single mention” Cap on licenses – effectively a ban 5% increase each year = 3 new licenses “My wife was livid” A strongly worded letter Final revisions Direct discussions with councilors Tim is the special interest group The last holdout – “I can walk to 12 listings within 5 minutes of my house” Normalcy Bias Second order effects of losing housing units – no school football team? Higher priorities – parking changes and tax reassessments The inefficiency of small town politics Public Hearing Cancelled due to COVID Surprise hearing – notified by Airbnb, not the council Zoom council meeting, mail-in comments No public opposition to short term rentals So little of the process is public – it’s a done deal Every time they go back, it gets worse One size fits all Aftermath Tim has applied for 3 licenses Basement ADU project rushed to complete before end of year 60 licenses issued; 5% cap raised to 8%. Now 4 new licenses per year Now they have to enforce it Tim’s list – “eyes only” confidentiality People try short term renting, don’t start out as a business Waiting list Re-evaluation of ordinance after 2 years Tim has his special interest monopoly privilege Fighting against the status quo The ordinance does nothing to stop party houses It could have been worse Takeaways Difficulty of public process Drafting workshops aim to build consensus It can’t be a direct democracy Impossibility of rational discourse Feelings don’t care about your facts Councilors aren’t impartial Libertarian awakening – there exist people who aren’t hyper-rational Joe vs the Normies People only care about comfort, convenience, complacency, and conformity Aggressive Normieism – aggression of oblivion City council is the pinnacle of normie aspiration Don’t mess with dog people A liberal sees the light on property rights Confirmation Bias Discourse can be messy Discourse leading to legislation can cause real harm Civil law for nuisance complaints – a lead balloon Civil courts don’t work – too expensive and onerous for small disputes Anarchic legal system depends on efficient civil courts and common law Civil courts are a state monopoly Legislation crowds out bottom of market for adjudication Informal processes could emerge Standard of evidence may be lower, more subjective Damages could be proportionate to amount of evidence Judge Judy is the model for an anarchic society Common law is less efficient, but legislation can’t be effectively enforced Civil cases also have high standard of evidence Everyone is presumed guilty, the end.

Hello Fellow Golfists, I had an amazing conversation with Jesse Parra from Phoenix Arizona.  He lives in the golf capital of the South West United States.  The AZ is known for being the home of PING and is the home of many many golf courses in addition to many many used golf club stores with very large inventories of used classic vintage golf clubs.  We talked about how he loves to search for amazing pieces of history to restore for his collection and to play golf with at his favorite course and driving range.  Jesse is a frequent administrator and contributor to the Old School Ping Group  and the Forged Golf Club Appreciation Group on Facebook.  He grew up playing PING golf clubs and loves going to the annual Phoenix Waste Management Open from the TPC at Scottsdale and is a fan of the Senior PGA Tour as it existed back in the 1990s.  Thank you so much for listening to The Knackered Golfist Podcast.  Please SUBSCRIBE and give me a LIKE on Apple Podcasts, Buzzsprout Podcasts, Spotify Podcasts, and RSS Podcasts.  

How does a quarantine affect public space? Why aren’t there enough ICU beds? Tim reflects on his experience designing hospitals to explain why the US healthcare infrastructure may be ill-equipped to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic. Spoiler alert: It’s far from anything resembling a free market. This stress on the healthcare system has been used to justify unprecedented restrictions on the use of government-owned public space. How would private owners of public space manage infection risk in a stateless society?

We interview Titus Gebel, the Founder, President and CEO of Free Private Cities Inc. Free Private Cities is working towards building new, greenfield cities using a model of individual bilateral contracts between each citizen and the city owner/operator. In his book, "Free Private Cities: Making Governments Compete for You," Titus describes why and how Free Private Cities should be developed.

A concept to make governments compete for you Rights and obligations of citizen and service provider are captured in an individual contract A contract should not be changed by only one party The Monaco realization - good governance makes political action unnecessary Location location location! Is a weak or friendly sponsor government a geographical feature? Location factors - climate proximity to infrastructure access to trade technology can improve desirability of remote locations and seasteads How does the process get started? Spread the idea Proposals from candidate countries Legal autonomy is the hardest part The sales pitch - Special Economic Zones Seeking finance: $100m opens a lot of doors At some point, they will hopefully compete for us Examples - Hong Kong, Shenzhen, Macao More than 4,000 Special Economic Zones (SEZ's) and Special Administrative Regions (SAR's) already exist SEZ's create wealth for the surrounding regions How do you integrate existing occupants? Concept is based on 100% voluntary participation Ideal is to start on uninhabited territory Existing occupants Referendum to join city Offer free/discounted citizenship Compensation for displacement How does property ownership work? Everything is conceivable City operator is a for-profit entity Operator would likely own the land, sell parcels to raise funds Option agreements or partnerships with existing landowners Lease model - less likely but also possible User fees alone may not be sufficient Push vs. Pull development Start small, organic growth Some master planning is needed for easements, etc. Patrik Schumacher - zoning for aesthetics in city center "The Freak Zone" in outer areas - little or no zoning Lighter touch, use based zoning Height and noise restrictions alone can determine uses Opportunities for more unique urban forms Disneyland as a SEZ Patrik Schumacher - Market Based Urban Order We don't know, so we want to try it out Different districts with different rules How do you manage change? Noise threshold and other development rights can be sold Multiple competing operators / providers within one city? This is possible for certain services Provision of security should be a monopoly Transaction costs too high "I'm happy if people can prove me wrong" Competing security within subdevelopments, with subsidiarity to the operator San Francisco private police force City operator as an intermediary "Social contract" is a contract between each individual and every other individual People think they own city assets because they pay taxes The FPC contract model clarifies the relationship In a FPC, other citizens can't interfere with your contract with the operator Much better protection for individual liberties Representative systems are susceptible to lobbying, cronyism, power plays Taxes don't entitle you to any services FPC operator is liable for malperformance of contract - compensation for poor security performance Joe's house was broken into Only role of the police was an official report for the insurance claim Monaco car vandalism - direct access to the minister More cameras, and more screening of immigrants "If you are not punishing people for doing bad things, they will do it again" Cameras and police presence in an FPC - not as creepy as when a government does it - is it a surveillance state if there is no state? There are always trade offs If you are not providing effective security, you will go out of business People come to Monaco because the cameras are there, keeping them safe A cruise ship captain can legally abuse his passengers - but he treats them like customers How would disputes between a citizen and the operator be adjudicated? Third party arbitration, special courts No different than any major construction contract Minimum payment to arbitrators is $1,200 - not feasible for small claims Small claims tribunals a potential solution Easier in theory than in practice Other means of citizen involvement in city management It's not so important who owns the city operator, as long as the contracts are enforced Some cities might require citizens to purchase a share of ownership Cooperatives are possible Various councils can be formed, but cannot violate citizen contracts or force changes to the contract Public space is one service offered by the operator Kicking someone out of a city means preventing them from using public space. Cities who expel criminals from public and private spaces will end up looking less like a police state Restitution to victims Operator makes citizen whole, criminal owes the operator compensation Keep punishment/imprisonment to a minimum, prefer expulsion and compensation to victims Multiple laboratories to see what really works Projects on the horizonSubscribe to FPC newsletter for updates Buy the book (link below) Links/Resources Free Private Cities Website The Book: Free Private Cities: Making Governments Compete for You by Titus GebelListen to the Audiobook for free at Mises.org Subscribe to the Newsletter Patrik Schumacher Free Market Urban Order (YouTube) Architecture's Contribution to the Progress of Freedom, Patrik Schumacher 2019 (YouTube) Episodes Mentioned Patrik Schumacher Series ana011: Patrik Schumacher (3 of 4) | The Interview ana023: Strong Towns for Libertarians | Chuck Marohn Interview   Contact: Email us: info@anarchitecturepodcast.comTweet us: @anarchitecturep Follow: Website: http://www.anarchitecturepodcast.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/anarchitecturepodcast/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/anarchitecturep/Twitter: https://twitter.com/anarchitecturep/Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/user/AnarchitecturePodcstMinds: https://www.minds.com/AnarchitecturePodcast Subscribe: iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/anarchitecture/id1091252412YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWELM_zTl7tXLgT-rDKpSvgSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5pepyQfA25PBz6bzKzlynf?si=4UiD6cLkR6Wd26wJC4S4YQPodbean: https://anarchitecture.podbean.com/Stitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=85082&refid=stprBitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/MIq2dOnSaTOP/RSS (all posts): http://www.anarchitecturepodcast.com/feed/RSS (Podcasts only): http://www.anarchitecturepodcast.com/feed/podcast/Other Subscription Options Support: Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/anarchitecturepodcastBitbacker.io: https://bitbacker.io/user/anarchitecture/Steemit: https://steemit.com/@anarchitectureDonate Bitcoin (BTC): 32cPbM7j5rxRu1KUaXGtoxsqFQNWD696p7
