'Reasonable' like 'do we think we could probably actually do this'. So like not everyone can live in a twenty acre footprint palace in downtown. Wouldn't work, don't have enough materials and the logistics don't check out.

We can probably do like a solid one or two bedroom apartment in a city or a pretty recently sized house in the country with some personally administered land attached for everybody who wants them in at least the kind of place they want it, with maybe multiple studios or tricked out RV's for people who split their time between multiple places. We can do that. Its not a huge ask, the resources mostly exist or could be converted without an implausible or society disrupting amount of effort.

That's what an economy is meant to do, you see. It's supposed to see that non-depleting resources like indoor space and railroad lines are built and put to use as efficiently as possible, and depletable resources are developed expended when its smart and conserved when that's smart, with labor being skilled up and put to use for some compromise between any number of optimization criteria such as human happiness space marine miniatures or FLOPS.

The maintenance of stratified classes is more of an ideological project for which the economy is hijacked by a bunch of parasitic not-even-metaphorical vampires and their deranged cultists. Economies aren't actually for that, and not in like a 'Hitachi says it doesn't make sex toys' way, but more of a 'Raytheon says they don't make sex toys why do I smell meat' way. They're genuinely for other stuff, and you can absolutely run them without the insane ideology.

For example by putting all those cultists in chains to live lives of public abuse and optimize human happiness!

In simpler terms: who the fuck would work 40 hours a week for the goals of a society that won't even give them a reliable comfy place to sleep? What kind of owned little object would do that?
