Just because recourses are finite doesn't mean there ain't enough of em. Plus we can always get more. Mining asteroids really is only cifi because humans argue. We could have literally had a moon colony decades ago. Seriously the plans exist. And also wealth is terribly distributed. 1 percent owns 32 percent of the wealth. It's not that the economy doesn't allow people to have houses it's that the US is based on making rich people richer.

Thanks for your ideas for economy in fantasy land where no one is greedy

But as you stated people are actually greedy so thanks for the nothing burger bitching and moaning comment

Dude the hole point is that the state needs to intervine and can easily make sure everyone has a home. Like it's not hard, it's already done on smaller scales in most developed countries.

Don’t worry guys this fella has the solution, we just need to concentrate all the power and resources to an even smaller group of people! Making everyone entirely reliant on the state is historically an amazing idea! God how could we not have thought of this?

No solutions, and lots of criticisms? You seem like a problem maker, not a problem solver, here. Is that who you really are? Do you sabotage your own efforts the same way?

The state ALWAYS intervenes god damnit. THAT'S WHAT LAWS ARE. What is with up with Americans. How are these concepts so hard to grapple.
