Housing crisis? There ain't no stinkn' housing crisis.

There is, however, an 'overabundance of stupid' crisis.

You misunderstand my post. I am not in any way asking for a perfect democracy, I am clearly stating that a 'perfect democracy' is undefinable in a herd species. Humans are just not neurologically, evolutionarily, and hormonally suited for 'pure democracy'.

What a person wants, and what is best for them, are often contradictory. Any species that can suffer from addiction will never form a workable 'perfect democracy'. Nor can it work effectively and efficiently in any species that the personality trait of narcissism can be expressed in the population .

However, one of the best examples of a workable 'consensus governing structure' historically is the Iroquois Confederacy.
