Historically, whatever is the current mode of doing things during the “wild west” stage, often ends up being how things are done many years later becuz it gets set as precedent. So if we extrapolate out from right now; in the future LL will adopt a standardized building code (same as everywhere else), and employ many employees as building inspectors (same as everywhere else), etc, and the code violations will be used as the reason why govt employees get to trespass all over your property at will (same as everywhere else).
Are the rulers of LL going to take sensible input from others on how to run things? Of course not! As rulers, they hold all the power (same as everywhere else).
But just for fun, let’s talk about how things COULD be run on Liberty Island to ensure the the govt stays small (libertarian) and cost effective.
The Educate Method
LL could adopt a method of mandatory education for any prospective settler on Liberty Island. The initial settler must go to a LL office and be given written material on the ADVISED building methods and the types of wind and water conditions occasionally found on Liberty Island. They could sign a paper saying they have received and read the material and now know that there can be extreme natural conditions that have destroyed many buildings in the past.
After they sign this document, I would guess that they are much more likely to build a robust structure that will survive the elements. And if they don’t, it is they who will suffer most. Sounds pretty libertarian.
Summary
Instead of protecting a person’s god-given right to build and maintain their own house, which has been practiced successfully for thousands of years, LL has chosen the path of every other tyrannical govt and mandated a big bureaucratic govt office full of building inspectors and code violation specialists and any “freedom” that settlers thought they were getting really only exists within their minds. Yes, there are other ways of doing things, but will they ever be considered, probably not (same as everywhere else).
