Not sure why you're jumping to barriers to entry but no, legal barriers
like doctor licensing wouldn't be very libertarian.  But that's
irrelevant to land monopoly like I was talking about.

Non-legal barriers would be high capital requirements, economies of
scale, and the ability to use price dumping to drive new competitors out
of business.  Which last is perfectly libertarian.
