There will be atleast 1 asshole trying to take all the aplles fer themselves. I guarantee it
that just obviously doesn't happen though, my city's full of fruit trees all over and the absolute worst thing that happens is that dumb kids shake down some of the fruit because they're dumb, and you can just.. pick that up..
Tragedy of the commons
And if you actually read the Wikipedia article you linked:

The "tragedy of the commons" is one of those things that's very Intuitive, but doesn't actually hold up to much scrutiny.
So the BLM lied about the (Cliven and sons) Bundy cattle degrading US property? No, I don't sympathize with them, just saying the answer may be somewhere between each extreme. Key word: "may," because I'm not a conservation scientist and people are people.
Opens Apple selling stand across the street.
God damn apple stealing whores....
Meh, that's why you plant an abundance. No value if you can't steal at least most and probably be able to travel.
I grew up in a town with plenty of fruit naturally growing (blackberries especially, which grow like weeds) and having an abundance absolutely meant that no one tried to horde it all. You could pick 10 pounds of blackberries and barely make a dent in the amount in any given neighborhood.
That's a good solution I didn't really consider. Sad that my brain considers 1 apple tree already way more than any government might be willing to plant
Guess we can't have anything nice as long as one person might be selfish.
I didn't say we shouldn't do it. I just wanted to point out that sadly one jerk will probably try and ruin it for everyone
We should bring back tar and feather punishments or maybe exile, for people who ruin good things so they can benefit more than anyone else
