   I'd rather buy several used books, or just get the physical copy of a new book instead of paying $15 for an ebook. Brick and mortar used bookstores seem to be able to profit on a modest volume of physical books at $3-$12. I'm real

   Waze could certainly benefit from some wise UX choices the Google Maps team long implemented. Namely the ability to choose any start location and swap it with the end location to get round trip time estimates.

    Taxing used property in dense areas would likely just increase the costs further, although I assume that might be intended in the long run to push for more use of vertical space. More useful would be a tax which increases the longer a vacan

    I assume it's somewhat due to the slim form factor? There are ford/dodge van campers but they're cumbersome compared to the slimmer Volkswagen Westfalias and similar early Toyota TownAce models. Westfalias have a much larger

    Inexpensive commodities should be a universally positive goal. Scarcity is a plague we need to cure. Strains on supplies of commodities, driving prices upward only indicates supply scarcity, not necessarily related to widespread creation

    Westfalias retail for upwards of ~$50,000, with 1980's models still fetching upwards of $15,000... If the Elio [1] can retail for $6,800 new, it's not a stretch to imagine a modern minimal camper-motorcycle/tuktuk/scoote
