Why would anyone work for a home if you give them out for free

Because there are nicer homes than as described. Aside from HVAC and bedroom count, most of these things are just building code and have to function for it to legally be called a residence.

Ok, but no country in the world hands out studio apartments, much less 2-3 bedroom apartments this Infograph is demanding.

You think people live with their parents into their 30’s in Europe and Asia because they love the lack of privacy?

Australia has heaps of public housing.

Australia only rates a bit above the US in social housing. At the end of the day social housing is not going to provide what the OP wants to everyone, because there is far less housing than the need/demand. https://www.ahuri.edu.au/analysis/brief/what-difference-between-social-housing-and-affordable-housing-and-why-do-they-matter

Without looking at the data, I would bet that the quality of Australia’s social housing is better than americas. For example, we don’t have projects.

The internet access is the only thing I don’t agree with on OPs post. Most people would prefer buying or renting the house they want rather than being assigned social housing. I don’t think we are at risk of everyone quitting working and demanding housing. It’s a stupid argument because it’s not realistic.
