I think it’s a legitimate counterpoint that could force some changes, but other aspects would have to go into it like intentional communities around this technology such that kids can go to schools, taxes are tenable, etc. interesting to consider. I think tax status assumptions and making van life work for a 2-child family are the main blockers. Starts sounding a lot like a high-end trailer park idea too.

The self-driving bit is what makes it tenable. All it takes is some people to offer parking a couple hours outside the city and for your home to drive itself out there when you go to sleep and drive you back to the city as you are getting close to waking up. Government prevents parking like that? Then just have the vehicle drive around aimlessly while you sleep or hang out, like a limousine. If energy were cheap enough, there'd be almost nothin you could to do stop it.
