    This reminds me of the campsite rule but applied globally: “Leave the world a better place than you found it.”

    If your ethos is to own and manage as many housing units as possible, you’re not going to improve them since, paradoxically, leaving the world a better place doesn’t help grow your enterprise. On the other hand, if every housing unit is managed exclusively and only by a single local person who doesn’t split their attention, then that person has a personal incentive to improve their home since they suffer the direct consequences of neglecting their possessions.

      Absolutely! And by improving your own home, you are directly improving the community and environment for those around you while others do the same for you.
