Thank you for enlightening me on the Social Credit Score, it's good to know it's only court ordered in cases where people aren't allowed to take the train or fly. That's still not great though. I work under some (overly nepotistic) execs for a corp and they use similar vague style tactics. It's honestly both a weapon and a shield that leaves the players powerless and the game masters with too much control. I wouldn't want a country run this way.

I also think of people like Xu Xiaodong who had his score reduced to "D" until he paid $40,000USD for calling a fake martial artist a fraud ಠ_ಠ. The courts in China are another discussion though. I'm just saying there is too much room for weaponization in scenarios like this. If it can be exploited, it will.

The missing middle housing stuff does look interesting, and I see your point with it. If it doesn't impede peoples sunlight or take away yards/gardens while mixing buildings like that, it might be a good solution that we could agree on.
