I want super militarized police. They should only come out when shit is real.

Nationalizing fire departments was a subsidy for insurance companies. In order to protect one building you really have to protect the whole block.

The same goes for security. You can see this when a celebrity's security detail moves into an area and calls the neighbors to tell them they are protected too. They have to secure a larger area than the house itself, and they want the neighbors to participate in the effort.

People will naturally self organize to cover these things in interesting and exciting ways. Markets are fucking awesome.
