externalities

I feel like externalities are an unsolved problem waiting on an elegant solution.

by externalities, I mean things like car alarms, which annoy lots of people, and yet that cost is not born by the person who buys the alarm, or bilboard advertising, where the person paying for an ugly ad only needs to pay the person who owns the land beneath the sign, rather than the area that can see it
