Leaf-blowers and Stadium Seating: Group vs. Individual Rationality

[Kilroy_x]

No, I understand that. It's just that there's no way to attain 3 3. If central organization is your proposal, you still need to answer the criticism that central organization also imposes a cost. The irrationality of agents may lead to 1 1, but there's no reason that rational agents wouldn't try to aim for 3 3. There's also the somewhat paradoxical issue of revealed preference. If all agents opt for an inferior outcome, then by definition it can't be inferior.
