I was fairly certain that the point of BI is that you didn't need to work unless you wanted to or had something you decided you wanted above the basic needs.

Frankly, we don't need as many people working as much as they do. (speaking about productive work)

Well, yes, you don't need to work unless you want to. But is urban living a basic need?

I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not...
