The only thing proposed that’s reasonable is “changing regulation.” It’s too easy to block new housing, and often times it’s just flat out illegal to increase density or build mixed use.
Yeah, but your fridge doesn’t break every six years. I’m totally on team repair (FrameWork will be my next laptop when this one can’t go on any further, my shoes can be resoled, I just touched up my jacket, etc) but a 10x premium doesn’t exactly make sense, even when you factor in that repairability is unfortunately a niche feature these days.
RCV still has spoilers, it’s just they happen differently. Mostly commonly in three-way competitive races, but they can technically happen under any number of candidates greater than two with any level of support.
Cardinal methods don’t have mathematical spoilers, though a new candidate can change voter behavior. But, that’s possible under any system.
