I wonder if a group of disgruntled engineers could up and buy a large piece of land somewhere and start a town with better ground rules that would avoid the NIMBY/rent seeking traps. Would need to limit property ownership in a major way somehow.

I'm convinced that housing cooperatives are going to become more mainstream for exactly this reason. I know other millennials who would do a co-op in a heartbeat The biggest hurdles are setting up the legal terms and the fact that financing is much harder than for single family homes (no FHA loans).
