- DoreenMichele 8y agoThe ideal situation would be for everyone to live in functionally identical dwellings that provide their every need. Perhaps you can explain to me how my different needs can be met by being forced to live in a unit that is functionally identical to all others. Because I absolutely don't see it.
- zzt 8y agoThe function of the unit is to meet your needs. This function is identical for all units. The collective of units provides an equitable living solution for all humans.

- taneq 8y agoI think they're talking about the end goal where a magical nanotechnological post-Singularity AI palace can supply literally every possible need for any possible person.
