I visited Joshua Tree in Dec 2019 and stayed at an Airbnb. While I was there, I was wondering how this could be applied in a socialist society.
Counterpoint: Dachas.
A tiny flat for work in the city.
A nice cabin for the weekends.
something like that would be easy to do in a big ass empty country like America. Could even create a whole lot of jobs for the national park services with the money we save from defunding the police
That's the dream tbh. I'd rather live in a flat in town, and have easy access to cafes and museums, but it's so nice to have a little calmer, greener place too.
You guys know those little cabins on hiking trails that are free for hikers to use? They aren't glamourous but have beds and kitchens, would be cool if as a society we had actual houses throughout cities that could be used in the same way.
I don't want that much space. I want to be in a studio on floor 433 of the mega-brutalist-complex where humanity is stored.

you don't understand how much blood I'd willingly give to some capitalist ghoul if it meant I'd have a forever-lease on a reasonably priced studio apartment with a window or balcony that faces the south so my bonsai/plants can live. Goddamn I hate living with roommates and we don't even have an apartment, we rent a fucking house because the cost of a studio or 1br apartment in my area are literally only maybe $200-300 cheaper a month when you add the overall cost of utilities & maintenance to the monthly rent for the house. (And when I say $200-300 cheaper, I'm not comparing it to my individual monthly rent - but the $1800/month overall that we split between 3 people.) So essentially I am forced to room with two other people, despite there somehow always being a new "luxury" apartment/condo building being built with dumbass 'amenities' like a staffed, residents=only, pet grooming salon on the ground floor. And they'll stay mostly vacant, too, because they're marketed towards fucking rich scum whom might be back and forth between NYC/LA/FL or wherever else their live-in mansion might be and our area.
Fuck I hate this goddamn country so much
Don't worry, there's a LOT of concrete between rooms - it's brutalist after all.
If you cant make a profit, there is no incentive to build houses. Thats why raccoons dont have homes
