Strategy in a nutshell:
identify your resources, identify your goal, and identify any problems
preventing you from reaching your goal.
Then, develop a plan to apply your resources to solve or bypass problems in
order to reach your goal. Easy.

if you aren't organized enough to protect your commanders, then you don't
deserve leaders.
build the structure first. build it on honesty and trust and dedication toward
a goal. then build the necessary adaptations as you encounter problems, trying
vaguely to head in a particular direction, and eventually you'll become
self-sustaining.

When the rules are made for a system that is struggling with insufficient
resources, they will make compromises that typically cause harm or don't
fulfill needs completely.
The problem is the insufficient resources. If the problem is upstream, then it
should be addressed upstream, until all of the needs of the downstream
resource utilization services are fully supplied.
Then, the rules should be updated to account for the sufficient supply. If
they are still limited, they should be labelled as such, and it should be
considered virtuous (temperance) to use only what you need, neutral to use as
much as you want, and sinful (gluttony) to use as much as you can.
It's okay to sin a little. Especially on accident or in a frenzy. But be sure
to calm down, and spend some time with the opposite virtue to counteract it.
Ideally more time.

your bookshelf is a list of sources you can glance to. sources you've used for
solving mental problems, things that you've enjoyed and engaged with, things
that taught you lessons or brought you joy - things that you shared with a
friend or perhaps read time and time again, there in your vision to glance
towards.

Question... Do you either:
A. Wait for the fall
Or
B. Become the fall
One puts you in a better position, with the initiative and momentum. The other
is reactionary and not solutions focused.

the most successful strategy is always to strike from a position of strength.
whether that be timing or power, the goal is to defeat the problem that lies
before you. One by one, problems are solved, until at last you're through the
worst of it. Then it's just a matter of expressing dominance, and "this is how
thing's're gonna be."

if you want to solve EVERY housing issue in the United States, at least in the
short and mid-term, add a ramping tax penalty for unoccupied houses that
doesn't reset to 0 upon being occupied but rather starts ticking down at the
same rate that it increases.
Something like 0.5% to 1% of the property value for every month it's gone
unoccupied as a primary residence.
