I really like JJs proposal, but it is important to point that out. But on the other hand people err way more in their time allocation then when it comes to allocation of money, so there's that. And it takes a disproportionate effort to drown out bad posts than to make them.
And I don't think it is correct to see PU as an experiment in Anarchy. First, it is a place created right next to a dictatorship with very good amenities. So if you lived rent free in a town full of crack heads but had the opportunity to visit theater, opera, libraries etc. in the next town at no cost whatsoever, well you wouldn't be that concerned with the crack heads living next to you. You might just take the fun of living with them and never consider the cost.
Second, if there was an artificial monopoly in crack head towns and you really liked living in your area, well you would suffer all the **** that comes with a monopoly.
Third, if you really liked some of the crack heads, and you knew that they can't really harm themselves or do you harm, then of course you would let their behaviour slide.
