RCV is the best available way to elect the president (afaik), but for the House I'd use full-on proportional representation. You could use the German or the Irish models, both of which still retain bonds between reps and their districts.

Both can be proportional in terms of peoples (ranked) votes counting the same.

If you could achieve 1 thing on this list you could do all of them.

@3volver Hope you do a v3. There are some good ideas in these comments. It's been a good read.

ALL sales tax needs to be replaced with value-added tax. Zero tax on used goods, including cars, if you actually want to reduce waste and related harm to the environment.
