Traffic laws are there to protect people in the public realm. Disobeying them can have serious and immediate negative consequences on others rights. If you dont like it, stay on private streets.


So if that's true then what of the negative consequences of hardcore drug abuse on the public? Lets say that in your neighborhood you discover that the neighbor to your right is operating a meth lab while the neighbor on your left is operating a crack house. You going to be OK with that? It's their property after all. Or will you want the government to come in and save your neighborhood?

A man shooting heroine in his house has no immediate negative impacts.

No. I'd move. Of course i'd never live in a neighborhood like that to begin with. And these things happen everyday in current america. In my society, they are free to go ahead and do so. No need for weapons or violence or cartles. He could put a sign out front that says "meth for sale".

Correct. Assuming it is and its not a rental or government owned.

I cant think of one example in history where the government successfully "saved a neighborhood" from anything even with the laws we have today.
