I beleive that if you check into it you'll find that you are incorrect in this
assumption. Generally speaking private property is taken care of by it's
owners better than "government" property. For illustrations of that look at
the ruins of the Soviet Union and the damage they did to the enviroment over
there.
Also strong governments mean abuse of individual rights.
