Something I didn't see mentioned in the article are aluminum benches. They act as a giant heatsink and makes your butt ice cold if you sit too long. They have them at the Copenhagen airport.

Blame apple instead for having broken font rendering. Most designers are painfully aware of the blurrier text, and would be happy to remove the fix as soon as the os stops being broken.

I was going to nitpick about efficiency of the generator not being 100 %, but apparently a generator can be 99 % effective.

That's how my grandparents did it. Here in Sweden, we can have some warm summer months, and freezing winters. Their cellar let them store potatoes the whole year.

I'm pretty sure there are places in your country where $8000/year would be plenty enough to live on. Not in any luxury, obviously. Living in central SF, or Manhattan would be unfeasible. Is that s bad thing? BI could prevent urban

With BI, hopefully fewer people end up in hemelessness like that. BI won't magically solve every problem, like mental illness, which is another large factor for homlessness.
