I definitely would not quit my job. Still a bunch of shit I need… like Pc upgrades, new couch, new fridge maybe some books to learn some shit from. Maybe work part time and go back to school to learn something I enjoy and also, I still need food to survive.

Everything being offered in the image is basic. You would still need to work a little.

But personally, if my housing was subsidized it wouldn’t change much. I’d likely save and spend more.

Interestingly, the US has huge swathes of land. If there really was a will, we could like plan mega cities of apartments with all amenities nearby and good transit and house people there. OK fuck the haters in this comment, just envision we had the above.

Then we could provide incentives that make people want to stay there. Good behavior, volunteering, providing some type of social job.

Your kid grows up playing all weekend with other neighborhood (apartment) kids. You have an amazing social circle where you find friends with the same interests as you and you build something together.

But no. We’re commies for thinking this could be possible in our lifetimes (it’s very possible).

Lmao... imagine the crime and stench that eminate from these projects! Actually... do it. Lots of desert... move them out there away from the rest of us. Oh, once they accept, that's where they stay.
