The bit about attitudes towards shared payments is fascinating. I wonder if this is truly attitude or just lack of choice.
Are there any concrete examples of existing systems where people choose to pay more when the alternatives are significantly cheaper but pricing is shared?
Hypothetical example scenario: Someone would choose to pay $10 for their own water instead of $2.50 (on average, with minor fluctuations), in order to avoid subsidizing other tenants' water usage. The difference in cost could be attributed to the maintenance burden of many monitoring devices. I have a hard time believing anyone would choose the more expensive option.
