  • I have a suggestion.

    TLDR: High density, owned housing, professional management, restrictions on owning other properties.

    To avoid HOAs misusing funds, allow people to own, and build high density: build apartments for sale, to be managed by corporation. Corp is funded by reasonable fees set before construction as a percentage of value of property. Apartment owners can vote to fire incompetent managers, otherwise, managers are free to choose how to effectively run complex. Salary is fixed.

    To encourage a builder to take on the project, we have 20-50 people sign up to buy apartments. They have to put down a refundable deposit of $100 to get on the list, and $5000 to the builder (applies to down payment) when building starts.

    Deed restrictions, created before breaking ground, prohibit ownership of an apartment by:

    1. any corporation

    2. any individual that owns another home or is on a corp that owns rental properties (excludes REITs if shares owned is below 5% market cap)

    The Wealth of Nations made convincing arguments that mercantilism wasn’t the most effecient system. Paid laborers cost less than slaves. Hoarding [gold] bullion makes it abundant in your country, thus less valuable.

    It may be time for the next system. The manifesto will need arguments that appeal to one’s pragmatism rather than sense of charity (48 Laws of Power, Law 13, Robert Greene).
