This is sad to me. As someone who's done the nomadic thing (and loved it), I see the intense damage this does. We aren't trees, we aren't designed to be fixed to one place. We are moving, locomotive creatures, we cannot get the best out of our time on this earth by sitting in one spot. Creating bureaucratic overhead to becoming mobile is a huge drain on people and a huge detriment to their potential over their expected lifetime. We take for granted that someone lives in a prescribed place. We unwittingly mould our lives around the requirement without realizing that it is foisted upon us. Our minds are mutated, we subtlely become a different kind of creature altogether, one not in line with our form. It makes us less healthy. It emerges from a conflicting interest between humans and the institutions that seek better, more uniform organization. Literally all of the negatives laid out from not having an address in this article are imposed, and so the benefits are benefits of compliance and not benefits due to some type of objrctively improved state. We should quit talking about how to get people addresses and start talking about how to get them the things they need without one. It's one thing for a place to have an address, that's perfectly acceptable. A person shouldn't have to have one to be able to participate civically or in commerce.
