As you say, it is the same thing only on  a smaller scale.

So there is a way to build a system of roads on a larger scale without resorting to a government taxing body.


And if some  people did not want to sell their homes so the road could go through then the price offered to them would go up until they did sell or the road would go around or not be built. Given the choice that roads that are not sufficiently wanted so that those paying for them cannot collect enough money to buy out homeowners or the choice of emminent domain I would chose the former as the latter is a violation of fundamental rights.


It just might be that the ONLY reason gov is more efficient is that it has the ability to steal what it wants.


Consider as an analogy the "roads of the airwaves". Every mobile phone company has a set of roads that they built themselves. Yet people are able to travel on the whole network of roads whether their company owns the roads or not. We could have a system of concrete roads in which hundreds of companies build, maintain, and pay for roads with funds collected from its customers and then with cooperative agreements allows customers from other companies to drive on their roads. My HOA built my roads and yours could build your roads then we can agree that you are allowed to drive on my roads and I on yours. (all of this is a conceptual argument since if I remember right the building of roads is in the constitution. and if not then in the state constitution or the local ordinances)
