  People who already have a home and can afford their healthcare?
• barney54 3y ago
  Affordable housing is a solved problem, but people don’t like the solution of allowing people to build housing all over the place.
  • pstuart 3y ago
    Agreed in principle, but "all over the place" is worth debate. High density is the way to go versus suburban sprawl. I understand the appeal of a suburban home (been there, done that) but it comes at great cost.

  Yeah you can only dream about 1 thing forever. Can’t have multiple things you dream about unfortunately :(

  Hi. I dream about commercial spaceplanes. Maybe I can help you understand it a little! What's holding us back from affordable healthcare and houses? Humans. What's holding us back from affordable spaceplanes and cool rockets? Physics! When I fight with humans, people get angry with me. When I fight with physics, cool stuff happens and physics doesn't (usually) get angry with me! So, for a conflict-averse nerd who likes to dream about cool stuff, spaceplanes > endless committee meetings. Any more questions?

  > and not affordable housing and healthcare Those rich enough to not need (young?) or have any healthcare they want/need and egoistic enough to not to care about housing (for others).
