Pay people for their commutes. Demand that jobs offer payment to people for getting to the workplace, and don't let them work you more than 8 hours (including commute) unless you're given overtime pay. But do let them discriminate based on how far away you live. That's okay because it directly financially affects them and is therefore a strategic decision. Plus, you can move closer maybe. 2. Consider closing car lanes and adding bike lanes. Depending on the location, this can do wonders for city enrichment. 3. Universal basic income, just to give people breathing room. 4. Give people 10$ for showing up at a park every week on Sunday or whatever. Encourage them to hang around and talk to people. 5. Build a fediverse instance for the neighborhood/city/state/country and give everyone a unified account on all of them. Don't let them browse other regions, but if they have friends elsewhere they should be able to see what they say. 6. Put your laws or code or whatever legal or political documents you use into a git repository, and include the full change-log as commits with the date either simulated, or added as a comment at the top or something. 7. Bolster small business and charge scaling taxes of any kind to large businesses. Encourage economies of scale to utilize their scale to lower production costs in order to sell more product rather than sell the same product and enrich their owners. 8. Subsidize or sponsor people to make in-home workshops and gardens. Develop ways for them to sell their wares with minimal effort - trucks that drive by and pick up standardized packages with price-tags and take them to a central market? 9. Build infrastructure that hosts a website for every address. Let the current occupants do whatever they want with it. 10. Grow plants.
