  • Actually, i've considered that economic justice automatically leads to social justice.

    Consider this: In the US, lots of things are heavily looked down upon, such as having sex before marriage (if you are in the unfortunate situation to have grown up in a christian area), but if you can earn money with it (e.g. onlyfans), your parents/neighbors might let you get away with it. After all, if you're making money with it, surely you must be doing something right. Money rules, after all.

    This is an example where economic prosperity actually leads to social liberty. It's messed up, but i've actually seen this example happen. It might work.

  • With an apartment [...] you dont own shit.

    What if you buy it? You can buy apartments, you know.

    I guarantee 99% of people would want a house on 2 acres thats a 30 minute drive to town than an apartment.

    I think that owning a house is also a lot of work, because you're responsible for everything yourself, including construction and maintenance, and i don't like that. There's a proverb: You build the first house for your enemy, the second house for your friend, and the third one for yourself. It says that when you're young and inexperienced, you don't know what to look out for when you build a house. So you might build rooms without proper ventilation, and that makes mold grow. You might build the garage in the wrong dimensions, because you don't know better. You might mess up the room layout or their sizes. When you buy an apartment built by the city, you can have a reasonable expectation that they've built 10000 apartment units before and know what they're doing. With private construction companies, i'm reasonably worried about being ripped off or fucked with. I trust public housing much more than private construction companies.

    On top of that if i live in the city, i don't even need a garage, nor a car. It's all very efficient and compact.

  • even if it weren't trolling, saying "you're wrong" and providing no argument whatsoever, is not a very convincing way of saying something.

  • and only use that property for money laundering.

    I've always suspected that ultra-expensive apartments in London might be mostly for money laundering. Like, i give you a ton of cocaine, and i don't give you money for that; Instead, i buy one of your luxury apartments in London for $150m (70 m² apartment btw).

  • and housing would be free

    somebody still has to build them, so somebody would still have to work for them.

    i think, however, the amount of hours worked that are needed to build a house might be drastically reduced if they had more uniformous form. However, whether people actually like that is a difficult question, because people are so different.

  • Most of the pictures of them are cherry picked to be the unmaintained, dirty ones, and are exclusively taken in gloomy weather.

    Look at the trees. They don't have leaves. The image was definitely taken in winter. That adds a lot to the depression of it.

  • yeah i get your point, humans are deterministic machines kinda but also, if you really look into IT and computers, you'll already find that computers (which are definitely highly deterministic, i.e. their behavior is exactly dependent on the input) are already so complex that they can often only be understood statistically, and that leads to organic behavior, where you sometimes ascribe certain character traits to the computer because it's easier to deal with than to use a deterministic mindset. and if that's useful way of looking at things for computers, it surely also is for humans.
