Let's see how people would vote/poll on the option of having fewer material items & goods.

Generally I find this rhetoric is popular when people are making decisions for other people rather than those people articulating their desires.

Wrong.

For example, I voted with my feet. I used to live in the US, but I moved (back) to Germany, because despite the fact that I could make tons more in the Bay Area, my standard of living is much higher here.

The thing about votes is that they express the opinion of more than a single person.
