Pretty much everything in this thread has been talked about and solved in this book: Roads in a Market Economy

I suggest people stop posting on this thread until they've read it (or something like it). Constant debate about something long settled is a waste of time. [The only interesting stuff has been J'raxis' posts.]

And who decides when issues are settled?

I could be mistaken, but isn't that largely what we have now?

Forgive me, but no one has suggested what is clearly the best suggestion.

No pony poop... because the ponies won't get fed.

Oh, no. I will be offering a specialized rent-a-pony service and outsourcing the pony-poop-pickup to local children. I mean, it's too easy. Who wouldn't want to move to a state full of ponies? It's win-win-win.

Its not picking up the manure... its feeding the horses.
Without a road network NH does not have the means available to supply the feed.

Like other things, you grow your own! I'll just buy a few hundred acres to turn the ponies out in, no problem. Also I'm pretty sure ponies can live on candy corn, which I will be growing out back, too.
