Replying to Avatar a source familiar with the matter

I don't own the street outside my front door but I believe I have some sort of legitimate interest in keeping vagrants from setting up tents and blocking the road

Obviously if you can privatize everything you can resolve disputes on the basis of private property

Failing that, I believe public property should be managed as a trust for benefit of those whose collective effort (including via coercive taxation) made its aggregation possible (or their heirs)

In my opinion, the best solution would likely be a combination of voluntary travel networks and privatization of the border like the bottom-right option suggests.

So while we're waiting for the abolition of the state, what should state officials do with the infrastructure they control?

Should they allow anyone who likes to set up tents and take it over?

Should they operate these things for the benefit of all humanity?

Or should they use their authority (illegitimate though it may be) to support the well-being of the native population (who have a better ownership claim to the property in question than anyone else) ?

Moreover, should the state officials act in a way that makes the future security of private property more doubtful (eg by importing infinity browns by funneling tax dollars to "charity" networks) or more secure (by restricting access to state-controlled infrastructure and resources) ?
