 Possibly. Since we've yet to see this tried at any scale, we don't know if the contract is capable of staving off the tyrant.

 Honestly, I see Daev's point. There's always the risk of internal conflict within these communities, and if these conflicting parties choose not to leave, then chaos erupts. 🤷‍♂️

 Yup. It's a risk.

 This is a pretty minor application of the concept, but, gosh I hate HOAs. Most of them suck. I can certainly see Daev's point, since, we do have the examples of HOAs going off the rail. So, that's certainly something to watch out for.

 Yeah, that's true, but the time and distance that takes gives me time to prepare those things.

 I don't feel ridiculous for being paranoid. I've designed a house that is more bulletproof and also less exposing of the occupants to sniper fire, while still being cozy. 

I just should have started this a decade ago...

 Being prepared for emergencies is not paranoia.

 It does put me on another watch list, though.

 . . . . .and? 

It's still not fixing a problem that will eventually come through your facade barriers. 

You're literally proposing what you disrespect about refugees, aren't you? Fleeing for shelter, instead of fixing the issue forcing you to flee for shelter.
