I wrote a diary the other day that wandered all over the place and never really made a point.
I'm going to try to flesh this out a bit better here.
We have an economic system in this country made so wealthy people can take crumbs from the poor to increase the number next to their name. This is the opposite of an efficient system.
We can easily change this.
I believe the key is housing. If we can saturate the country with beautiful people oriented housing, we will enrich everyones social lives and destroy poverty and hunger.
If everyone is sheltered, food is easy to obtain. People could work for weeks a year to have enough to eat well, travel, and have generally fulfilling lives.
All we need to do is put enough housing on the ground without the useless private property rules. If anyone can just walkabout and find a dwelling space they enjoy, the rest is gravy. No children dying from cold. No sleepless nights for poor working mothers. Abusive mates would be easy to escape.
Working would become optional.
I'm retired, bored and wealthy. I have 700 dollars a month social security income with no housing costs. I can do anything I want. This makes me wealthy.
I'm going to start building human centered cheap developments which I think will enhance people lives. I'm working with a bank who is helping me get this all in place.
The houses will be beautiful smaller spaces with large social porches. Hardwood floors, Granite counters. Cars will be banned to an outside loop. The yards will be ample, with walkways and bike paths passing by people porches. This can't do anything but create larger circles of friends. Trees and grass instead of asphalt. I have people clamoring to move into these houses. We should have the first people in their homes by June.
The cost of these homes would be under 100,000.
I plan to sell these until we don't need any more cash, then keep going, blanketing the country with free housing.
I'm sure others will jump in and do the same if it looks like it's working, and it will.
The powerful evil such as the Kochs would cease to have any power over us. Government programs would not be needed.
When I can do anything the Kochs can afford to do, I am every bit as wealthy as they are.
There are some other aspects, less important.
We would all be truly equal finally.
Stronger social bonds would give everyone better support systems and improve general mental health and happiness.
This looks way too easy, but I can't find any flaws.
