Taxes and Subscriptions: The Same Result

There are, of course, still two differences between the solutions:  under “pay-for-spray,” you lose not only your house, but everything and everyone inside it, while under an auction, you just lose your house; on the other hand, under “pay-for-spray,” you lose your house only if you’re unlucky enough to be the victim of a fire, while under an auction you lose your house because you can’t afford the tax, whether or not you’re unlucky enough to be the victim of a fire.
