Cory Doctorow wants to wipe away enshittification of tech (www.theregister.com)

Doctrow argues that nascent tech unionization (which we're closer to having now than ever before) combined with bipartisan fear (and consequent regulation) either directly or via agencies like the FTC and FCC can help to curb Big Tech's power, and the enshittification that it has wrought.

So that policy would encourage people to move to low density housing

Haven't seen such BS. Similar event happened in my country when 12 hours work day was 1917ed to 8 hours with help of French technology called "La Révolution". The rest is history.

Don't see many gardens on that apartment building. So if people want to get that hours off per day for gardening, they'll have to move out of the apartment building, won't they?

It's just an example for a wild idea that might inspire people. But... Wikipedia "Community Gardening"

It's a pretty popular concept in the UK. Takes less space than parks, is a great place to meet like-minded people, reduce food costs and the community aspect means you can even go on vacation since its a group of people caring for the plants.
