    • reduce consumption of the super rich - interesting idea. sci fi at this point. all the consumption-reduction is hitting the poor so far

    • reduce production of trash products like plastic toys or single use vapes - eliminating those jobs, removing choice from people over what they use

    • remove laws which enforce waste, such as minimum parking spots - agree, zoning in general means enormous deviation from market equilibrium, meaning tons of economic value wasted

    • in urban design: prioritize mass transit, biking and walking over motorized individual transportation - as usual, ignores the time cost to people. Time is people’s most limited resource. Taking away people’s time makes them poorer
