First start with term limits for all elected/appointed seats, including judicial. No more lifers/forever reelected.
Corporate world and (private interest/other countries enemies) are crushing the US population over greed via pocket congress-person who's only interest is getting elected with no agenda to help US citizens.

Next lowering, even to $0, for Power and Water/Sewer will have to happen.
Next removal of healthcare options from all businesses. This should have never been an option for businesses to offer. This should have been a separate service and not tied to who you work for. Too many are stuck at dead end jobs for fear of losing their healthcare.

Next healthcare, schooling, childcare (even college) needs to be lower, even to $0.

Next new type of housing need to be developed, this should be something that can be movable, floatable, and have ability to be connected in sections in a modular designs with possible stacking on other housing with lower housing able to be move out from under other units..
Housing addresses will at this point will be bot guided to that location via ground, water, or air drone deliveries.
These units will basically be for the life of the owner with upgrading options, add-ons and extra space sections that can be added/removed when needed or not wanted.
Movable is meant for units to have option to be closer to owner's needs like work or relatives or medical reasons.
Floatable is meant for times for floods or other storms, its assumed this units will be semi domed to help against wind, structured against quakes, and lastly fire protected.
