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.
