Feels like with the kind of coordination required to get everyone to agree to being much smaller you could solve a load of other really important problems.
I’m not sure there is a another coordination problem that offers greater returns than this.
Also, after the point where hobitisation is moderately common it should be in the interests of individuals to become hobbits. Most of the gains (cheaper housing, longer life expectancy) aren’t externalities.
