Monopoly is designed to be unbalanced on purpose.

It's not the imbalance that's the problem. It's the glacial pace and the lack of meaningful decision points.

the lack of meaningful decision points.

Again, that's part of the point.

It can be played quicker. Players don't get money for passing go. That's socialism don'tcha know? And if you end up in jail it's for twice the turns as there are players. A few tweaks here and there make the game quicker and way more unfair, hammering home the point that the player who gets a lucky roll first will dominate the other players.
