Fix for carry on is simple — it is more valuable for one to have their baggage accessible so airlines should charge more for carry on luggage than checked. Or even invert it and give everyone a free checked bag but make a convenience fee for carry ons beyond your personal item.
I did some digging and it turns out there are some economics that are behind the status quo.
Air freight is effectively higher paying cargo than passenger freight, but it can only be in the hold. The airline has economic incentive to pack as much into the overheads as possible because that effectively clears space for more profitable cargo.
The "15-minute city" is not the best model for understanding pre-industrial cities, but I believe is just another term for what Sam Bass Warner, Jr called the "walking city." I started writing a long-form critique of the walking city, but I tabled it. Please let me know if you are interested in critiquing the incomplete draft.
My in-laws bring only a carry-on even for a two week trip, I should find out if they over stuff their carryons or they are really efficient packers, lol.

Wait.. this makes a lot of sense actually. Why is it the other way around??
