Oo, ooo, example right now!Oh, it's cheap but the wait is long. If you want to live in stockholm. There's a governmental queue called Stockholms Bostadskö, costs about 20 usd a year to be in it, and then you use your queue time to get a rental at no monetary cost.
Issue being that, when looking at apartment in stockholm city center, some people have been in queue longer than I've been alive
Another good reason as to why we moved away from there.
Blue arrow, smack dab in the middle, absolutely GORGEOUS neighbourhood. 4 rooms, 85 square meters, 4th floor so has a good view, only about 1000 USD a month.
People who've signed up to look at it. Longest queue times. Means they have prio:

For context …. I live in a gorgeous… but expensive city… and for a 2-bed basement suite I pay over $2k a month.

I pay $0 rent and only about $1,000 a year in taxes where I live. I am very lucky. It's a fixer upper mobile home on my friend's land.
If I were paying rent, despite this city being incredibly tiny, I would be paying at minimum $2,000/mo. for a 2 bed, I bath.

Ok here’s a question to ponder ….
If you could upload your consciousness to a digital platform … and live out the rest of your “life” there instead of the real world.
You’d still have to work but everting would be significantly cheaper because it’s not the real world it’s all digital.
You could live in a fancy house depending on what your job is…
You could travel to places around the world … they would only be simulations of the real world but would look and feel real. Like Paris or Rome..
You could have a pet but no kids…
The catch is …. You would no longer be “alive” in the real world. Your body would be cremated and just your consciousness would exist.
Would you do it ???

No. I don't think so. I loved the anime Ghost in the Shell though...

I think we are one or two dominoes away from people really struggling.We’re all going down fast…..
Due in part to AI and because well they’re fucking morons, the IT sector has been laying off faster than imaginable. That will then make the lawyers and accountants for sure lose some of their income which may cause them to lay off their mornic unnecessary hires. This is not accounting for all the good people who support these industries.
Also, if the IT sector “repositions” to adjust to AI, so will other sectors like sales, marketing, advertising, logistics (or whatever new term they use to package that rabbit hole), and operations. And self-driving fleets are now 2-3 years away from being selectively immersed in commercial applications. There go some large percentage of all of your Uber drivers, your trucking guys and the guys who deliver in general, the UPS and the postal system.
I shudder to think if a perfect storm is coming and all these asshole landlords are charging $2000 rent to live in small apartments, what will happen to people?

I'd need to know details and rules but in theory I'd be down with this. Probably after I'm ready to die of old age.

I make excellent money and live in one of the most affordable states in the US. I bought my home right before COVID for $200k; 5 bed, 2.5 bath, custom kitchen, and 1/2 acre property. It has increased in value by 50% in 4 years. I don't know if I could afford to buy the house I live in now. It's insane.

That's.... insanely cheap though! Even after the increase. Compared to Sweden.
Rent is cheap, but buying a place is fucking expensive. Though I can't see a reason to ever buy a place if you don't plan on flipping it.
