I've been actively avoiding it forever, but my peers are all-to-eager to give up any control or ownership of anything.
It's really a cultural problem, and most of the people receiving the short end of the stick aren't realizing it.
There's a lot of stuff that isn't really efficient to own individually. I need a power drill one day a year or less, it's just gathering dust in my closet the rest of the time. I bet most of my neighborhood does the same.
I often dream of a local community center of sorts that lends out tools, and other such things, maybe for a small yearly fee. They could spend to get something robust, good quality that lasts for a long while. And the whole neighborhood could benefit. Sort of an expanded version of a library? I guess none of that is very profitable.
Some libraries literally do this already, expect they do it completely for free.
