I think these matters really would be a good first order of business, if 
we're to look for a way out of this mess. The situation is serious 
enough to warrant a reexamination of all the premises of our current 
culture. What, exactly, would be wrong with everyone renting out their 
space to more people? Or subdividing land? As for how increased density 
would be any better, George has sketched enough of it to get my attention.

Probably there is a way to change it now -- are we actually waiting for 
an *easy* way to do it? But even without changing what's built, at least 
we could stop building more of the same.
