Bad idea I think. It would crush the lower middle class. Gov should handle infrastructure that's shared even though at times it sucks at it. DMV on the other hand, any bidders that can privatize it? The current situation is completely unacceptable and it has been for decades. Many departments in Government need to be rethought and gutted out, starting afresh. With new stack, new databases, new infrastructure and new vision. 18F should take the lead in defining the vision from the techonology standpoint: https://18f.gsa.gov/ https://18f.gsa.gov/ Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting for a silly question, no question too silly and should be open for debate. :-)

We are already limiting access to housing in urban centers by driving up prices. If it is a good idea I don't know, it is what we have and I cant think of an easy replacement. Rent seems to scale to match earnings, toll roads would do the same and compete for the same budget. We could also do government housing and pay a standardized fee that reflects building cost but then you would need a different formula to prioritize one case over the other. You would have to tell people to leave which is much less accepted than being unable to afford it any longer. Roads are for transportation but people use them as a place to live(?!) The street the default place to live for everyone??? Imagine how absurd that is.
