property rights & conflict resolution

Dear Mayor Denny,

You raise a reasonable concern. However, this happens now, as an
institutionalized aspect of democracy.

Keep in mind, utopia is not an option. Anarcho-libertarianism would
tend to minimize problems caused by politicians by reducing the
perverse incentives of political power. However, since human nature
remains constant, there's no promise of totally eradicating them.

In an anarcho-libertarian justice system of competing insurance
companies, for example, this type of "injustice" would be bad for
business.

Best, Michael

Michael,

  I'd be interested in hearing you elaborate on how the incentives of
the marketplace would make injustice bad for business. Also, while an
inability to effectively guarantee due process to clients might be bad
business for the insurance companies, wouldn't it be good business for
the assassination companies?

Yours in liberty,

Dear All,

I'd like to hear some replies to Starchild's concerns that a society

left completely without government interference, to be negociated
completely by individuals, would resolve righteous disputes of the
poor and powerless against the powerful and rich who could use their
wealth and power to shield themselves completely from prosecution.

Maybe I missed something but I feel we need to answer this question

very clearly if people are going to better understand our position.

Best

Mike Denny

Starchild - I didn't have any specific instances in
mind. It was more of a present day observation.

Maybe in the event of death of an owner?? As in,
managing of abandoned property prior to a public
auction. Might be other instances, not sure..

David,

I can't help but notice that your wording in
response to Steve implies
that there are some property disputes for which
civil action is not a
very effective means of conflict resolution. This in
turn suggests that
some sort of enforcement mechanism is needed for
when a difficult case
comes up. Is this what you believe?

Dear Starchild and Everyone Else;

The story below is about Mark Leno's Assembly bill to add restrictions to the Ellis Act specifically for SRO's ( single room only ) in San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego. Where any landlord with SRO's would have to get local approval before they could completely take the building off the market. It is awaiting the Governor's signature.

What Leno doesn't say is how the climate for building new housing let affordable housing is so restrictive in SF with its rent control. No one wants to build any new SRO's or new apartments in the quantity needed to meet the demand. This is what the real problem is and it is another example of the taking of property by the State for what the State dictates for a problem the State created.

http://www.sfexaminer.com/templates/story.cfm?displaystory=1&storyname=082503n_leno

Remember the following two sentences when anyone talks about price gouging.

Prices rise when the demand exceeds the supply at the offering price.

Prices fall when the supply exceeds the demand at the offering price.

Build more units the prices will fall and housing becomes more affordable.
