I want to thank you for your blog and your links for introducing me to other free market urbanists. I have long been fond of urban environments and unsettled by suburbia. Unfortunately for me, it seemed the only actively pro-urban folks out there were state intervention-friendly liberals. The small government types who commented on the issue were just a bunch of tooles, but I couldn't disprove them. Thanks to your blog, and others, I've been enlightened and my pro-urbanism and small government sympathies have now been properly reconciled. This has been an interesting series.

Question: At a rule-free intersection, who, if anyone, should be liable if there is a collision?
