If "taxation is theft", who pays for public services like emergency healthcare, mental healthcare, housing for the homeless, roads, police, public parks, and fire departments?

How does libertarianism stop corporations or people from polluting the environment, and not just through literal dumping, but things like building a tower that significantly lowers the property value for dozens of others by blocking a key sight line, or employing a huge workforce but having no parking? Basically, what's libertarianism's answers to the Tragedy of the Commons?

To be clear, these aren't meant to be "gotcha" questions, I used to be a big believer in libertarianism myself, but these are the things that made me turn away from it and towards something more like democratic socialism. I'm genuinely curious at your answers to them.

Are you concerned that your project name looks a lot like "uterus"?

So I assume these questions are being parsed by the operator and entered into UNU, there's no way your NLU is actually this good, right?
