Ainda acho que tem pouquíssima gente aqui pra isso, mas vamos tentando 😁

O que aconteceu?

MORE INFRASTRUCTURE

Cities need a lot of infraestruture: water pipes, sewage pipes, gas pipes, electricity and internet cables, walking lanes, bike and car lanes.

All of them are common infraestruture. All of them share a common space.

To avoid conflicts, rules must be clear and the property owners must be well defined.

Next step is try to imagine how it could be done.

SIDEWALKS

No homeowner should be forced to keep space for a sidewalk, but if they have to, don't say it belongs to them.

Sidewalks are not individual property, instead, they are common property just like streets and their management should be done similarly.

A free city doesn't necessarily need to have streets or sidewalks or bike lanes... But it's important to at least to imagine how people will move around the common space.

PARKING LANES

Just like there's no free lunch, there's no free parking lane. Typically, parking lanes belong to streets, but in my opinion, parking lanes should be managed apart.

Parking lanes could belong to building owners who can decide whether or not parking is allowed, create rules or transfer the parking lane property to someone else.

STREETS AND AVENUES

Probably one of the most complex topics discussed here. We're used to "free" streets so we'll have a hard time trying to find a solution for this.

Streets and avenues can have several levels of ownership. Local streets can be owned by local residents whereas highways may be owned by millions of people from different cities.

Many libertarians argue that streets would be free to use since merchants would like people to come but I disagree. Road infraestruture is too expensive for cars and trucks and if you have a very dense population, the space will be even more disputed.

My guess is that we will have urban tolls everywhere. Probably you'll not need to pay for it every time you pass by, maybe you get monthly bills. We will also have to find ways to protect privacy.

As to the cost, I think people can get discounts or free access when they own a share % of a street but they'll probably have to pay for it when are visiting some new place.

In order to spend less, it's likely people will live next to their jobs. We will probably live in a quite different city.

If you don't, you may be violating the non aggression pact since you have changed the natural water flow and that causes damage to people downstream. I'm talking about a society that respects the NAP.

O nostr pode não ser o melhor para DMs, pode não ter um marketplace, pode não ter as melhores redes sociais, mas o Nostr tem a melhor interoperabilidade que permite que pessoas discutam, busquem soluções e encontrem todas essas coisas.

SEWAGE TREATMENT

Different from the countryside houses where the sewage treatment can be done in a sinkhole, city residents would probably need a collective way to treat sewage.

That happens because single buildings don't have enough space to build that infraestructure. Instead, the sewage needs to be lead to somewhere else, treated and released in a water body.

Now cities normally have a single company taking care of that, however, this doesn't need to be so centralized.

Each neighborhood or district could build it's own infrastructure, making it more competitive.

Unlike cities nowadays though, where the entire drainage systems are managed by a single entity, the management of drainage systems could be a bit more local, splitting the governance to neighborhoods.

DRAINING WATER

One of the biggest problems cities face are floodings caused by the surface impermeability.

Buildings and streets are built changing the natural course of water and causing damage downstream.

In a city, this problem cannot be solved individually so once again, we would need common infrastructure to lead rainwater to a water body.

This is what we already do now (often very badly), but a free city resident should be very much aware.

Precisamos discutir essas coisas!

WATER SUPPLY

An essential service for cities is how and where to get water from.

Most cities get water from a big reservoir, a dam that stores water from a river. Dams cannot be individualized in cities.

Usually, each dam owns the right to a certain volume of water from the river, which is a way to privatize water to a large group of people. But the tragedy of the commons keep happening here.

Water volume in reservoirs are variable because the climate is variable. A solution could be privatize water right over a certain portion of water.

For a 10,000 inhabitants city, each person could own 0,01% of the reservoir water. One could buy or sell portions of water. That would give incentives to people to build more reservoirs.

Large real state developments would need to build more reservoirs or find new ways to supply their needs.

Vai acontecer, paciência kkkkkk

Thanks a lot

Ainda tá meio ruimzinho pra usar, mas pra criar comunidades tem que ser o Zapddit, Nostr Kiwi ou Satellite.

Faz uma comunidade. Podemos usar uma comunidade pra fazer uma feira livre. O problema é que ainda não tem volume de pessoas para isso, eu acho.

People are normally scared of too much Urban development. That happens because of the bad impacts urban development can cause to the existing infrastructure.

That infrastructure is controlled by the State, by their rules, and the harm to it is normally not well addressed. When governments try to limit those bad impacts, they also limit the good impacts of urban development.

In the ideal scenario, urban development should be controlled by people. That's possible if we have real private property over public spaces.

In the next notes, I'll be giving examples on how we could fix those problems with private property.
