And of course if there was an actual city out there modelled after your libertarian paradise, there’s not a chance you’d move there, let alone be happier there.
But boy would I love to see it.
Because no matter how much of your personality you devote to being a miser, your actual, actual wealth is a piss puddle next to an ocean.
You’d be a functional slave with every dollar you earned being immediately extracted from you as you’re charged by the foot for the roads you use, living off post-FDA Starbucks that you don’t know has baby-killing levels of formaldehyde in it (again) because the one media company left was paid to not report it.
But hey, at least you wouldn’t be paying 1c a year for someone else’s birth control.

You are paying for them. You live in a society and anyone languishing in that society makes your life that much worse off.
Because they are your fellow citizens.
