Only by giving each person partial “ownership” of the Cube block house can we expect them to treat the Cube (and those within) with the respect it deserves
I do think fellow YIMBYs end up looking down on single family homes in an unreasonable and unhelpful way. Like, we do need farmers in the world to produce food, and they need to have a single family home and drive. Other people just genuinely don’t love cities. A lot of these people could benefit from dense cities because it opens up land, lowers the cost of single family homes for those who want it, and reduces traffic when they do want to go to the city. It’s all about giving people the options they want without hiding the real world trade offs.
