You need more to maintain a house, drywaller, gardener, carpenter, painter. The most important robotic help though will be cleaner and nurse. As our population ages and shrinks home help will become scarce and we'll desperately need an alternative to take care of ourselves as we age.

Perhaps in response housing will become even more homogenized so that AI has an easier time maintaining it in a standardized way?

But is your house iHouse compatible, or only OpenHouse compatible?

Immigrants from countries whose populations aren't shrinking could fill that role.

Who will maintain their houses? Why would it be immigrants instead of an underclass of citizens already in the country?

What houses? In Canada we stick 5 of them in every basement with no path to ownership. They’re happy to share bedrooms because it’s better than where they came from. The “underclass” of today got in early enough to own land and will be the landed gentry of tomorrow

Central BC is full of low-skill nobody boomers who happened to have affordable Vancouver starter homes. These people are driving Porsches and sipping wine thanks to their good fortune.
