A pretty good list. Thanks for the reminders.<p>I will add &quot;Building roads to reduce traffic.&quot;<p>Edit: Just adding<p>Jevons paradox <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Jevons_paradox" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Jevons_paradox</a><p>and<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=39780949">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=39780949</a>

&gt; Solving supply shortages with consumption subsidies. Say rent is expensive and the government gives everyone a $500&#x2F;month rent voucher. What happens? Well, why is rent expensive? If people really want to live somewhere, they keep bidding with each other until the price hurts enough that some give up and live elsewhere.<p>I agree that the market rent will increase in this case, maybe even by as much as $500 &#x2F; month in the case of perfectly constrained supply, but don&#x27;t stop there! Keep going, and follow the logic. <i>Eventually</i> it will work, because eventually it creates such a powerful incentive for competing rental supply to enter the market.
