Government in Brazil is so worthless even the public departments (regulatory agencies, city hall, etc.) are hiring private security... Also, just found out that the lady who cooks for us has hired private police to watch her house at U$30 a month (this works like a 911 service where you call and they come really fast with guns, and servicemen are usually off-duty regular police making an extra buck).

Now I'm thinking there are a few simple solutions for that problem. It seems probable that in a world free of monopoly there would be a demand for HOA collective insurance requirements for buildings that have tenant shared walls.... That would solve that problem right off the bat. It is interesting. hmmmm…

Forget the ethics of taxation for now. Is it more or less efficient to pay for it and allow government to handle it, or for individuals to pay through insurers? Keep in mind the inefficiencies associated with 'holdouts.' ie - "...well, my neighbors on both sides have fire protection, so i'll just save money and not buy insurance. In the rare event of a fire, I can be rest assured that their insurance companies will respond and put out the fire. I will have minimal repairs, and I can save money for that." That is perfectly logical, and rational. It's also not efficient, because the guy in the middle never had to pay a premium, and say 85% of his building was saved. Right?
