I am going to start calling the reduction or removal of minor things that helped society "micro regressions".

Is tragedy of the commons overused?

Enpissification?

I’m not sure it’s a regression really

If you look at a graph of the world population it’s seems clear to me that freely available common resources are just going to continue to get overused and ruined as we continue to add people to the equation

It probably isn't as much about population growth as the increasing wealth gap. My hypothesis would be that a society where people don't feel fair distribution of wealth is more prone to this 'abuse' that you call 'overuse'.

Surely bathrooms are something we can produce faster than the rate at which population increases.

but wouldn't that also follow... more people can create and maintain more common resources?

tbh I think this falls into a more familiar pattern with a coincidentally fitting name: enshittification

no one makes money off of public toilets, so they don't exist anymore

Micro-regressions will largely be in the realm of charity and hospitality as society has aggressively embodied capitalism's cost and benefit analysis.

Don't forget privacy

Feels like tons of micro regressions around our expectations of privacy these days
