> It's also interesting that the article points out that in practice communities self-regulate to avoid the issue of over-using a shared resource. The article may say that, but it's objectively true that there are failure modes to this self-regulation. You can see it in the West Coast's response to homelessness. Which is to say, that they completely fail to regulate the public spaces because the elected government doesn't have the character to properly fund the proper services and engage in involuntary commitments of people with mental disorders into hospitals where they would get care.
