Who are these people that always think government force is the solution to changing people’s behavior ?
What about building new communities that old people WANT to move to ? How about a PR campaign reminding these people how much richer their retirements could be if they sell and downsize to the countryside ?
What about encouraging developers to build new centers for business and housing that will appeal more to young families just starting out ? It amazes me how much people have to pay for tiny apartments and row houses in the big cities. We should be building new cities with business, housing and recreation that serves the new generation instead of trying to cram more and more people into decaying cities with infrastructure designed centuries ago.
Central planning and enforcement of said (rotten) plans always leads from the frying pan into the fire.
New Cities! Excellent! Let’s design one.
