Incentivize builders and developers to build buildings/housing that are creative and colorful by bringing in investment management that invests in the lucrative long tail/long term returns.

Humanistic buildings more anthropomorphic - taller than they are wide (just as is the rule for windows) Verticality is more human-like, horizontality more machine-like (ie cars, ships, planes).

The factors in favor of smaller, vertical buildings, as far as value to the home buyer/resident:

1. People feel more like they own their own place, have their own identity.
2. Less elevator waiting time, if any.

3. Higher property values in a neighborhood with more human-scaled/proportioned buildings and much stronger street entrance presence, and safer streets as a result.
