Just a thought: there is so much snow here that the town is having highway crews use loaders and trucks to clear neighborhoods, so that emergency personnel can access every home in town...of course, that's paid for via property taxes...but what if a neighborhood turned down such efforts, and in return didn't have to pay a portion of their taxes, to finance their own private system...?

You could do it by becoming a private association. The question then becomes: do you want to associate with other people and do the want to associate with you.

Take a look at rural volunteer fire departments. Without the ability to enforce funding, it takes a dedicated community to get the job done. It is surprising how well they do it, which makes me proud because Dad devoted a lot of his time to keeping ours something to be proud of. Along with many other retired professionals with the training needed to teach the rest.
