Sorry for the late response. I think the solution is clearly to make more places like San Francisco. Not to make SF more like everywhere else.

Any books you recommend?

The most import thing to take from this is that American pattern of suburbanization was a government choice.

Highways, suburbs, and car domminance would not exist anywhere near the scale that they do without massive government subsidies, or turning a blind eye to future expenses.

Theres also discounting the negative externalities of fossil fule emmissions on the planet and human health.

Ironically the libertarian types tend to prefer the type of development that 90% couldn't afford without subsidy.

Just like we shouldn't have bailed out the banks in '08 or junk bond holders in '20, we shouldn't bail out municipalities that borrowed too much from the future.

So price the negative externalities of not having the tree and send it their way.

Maybe people aren't entitled to live in suburbs where trees are a threat

TLDR:

* Write three things you're greatfull for daily. Bonus points if you share the task with friends

* Take walks and pay attention to what's happening

* Listen to soft nature sounds

That's not true though. The gov pays the providers as well.

Yeah but why not just have literal slaves and not require that people have health insurance.

The reductive "race to the bottom" can go both directions

I mean minimum wage isn't inflation adjusted is it.

I mean, what it only kicks in after say $25 million?

Then everyone would be able to own 25,000,000 worth of stuff free and clear.
