Good post. If you’re interested, the “Street Votes” idea was developed into a detailed policy paper by another UK think tank, and then proposed to Parliament by some MPs. Shortly afterwards the housing minister was sacked and a new minister appointed, so things could go either way.
Founders Pledge also did a great report on this topic, where they try to estimate the extent of the problem (in the UK) and the benefits of fixing it.
Another cost-effective intervention in this area is land records digitization in Bangladesh which has, according to the Copenhagen Consensus Center, 619x (61,900%) social, economic, and environmental return on investment. EAs looking for ITN-scoring application of their coding skills should feel free to take a note.
