Have you looked around? We actually have plenty of "housing", however most do not meet the qualities/criteria that make them desirable enough to be "homes".
Lower density, family and pet friendly. You know, the kinds of places that landlords live in. Not the places they are trying to force on others as "inevitable".

Seems fair to ask: what's the expected lifespan of an iPhone these days?
Does anyone here have insight as to what percent of materials used to make them is actually recycled?

umm, you raise a valid concern, afaict, however, e-waste is kind of a taboo word around here, or? Or maybe just another part of the 'inevitable' belief system.
Like, how about that _planned obsolescence_ of a vast majority of consumer electronics hardware? (If that ain't the case, would be happen to learn otherwise from someone with better knowledge.)

"What is the real meaning of humility?
AI Overview
The real meaning of humility is having an accurate, realistic view of oneself, acknowledging both one's strengths and limitations without arrogance or boastfulness, and a modest, unassuming demeanor that focuses on others. It's not about having low self-esteem but about seeing oneself truthfully, putting accomplishments in perspective, and being open to personal growth and learning from others."
Sounds like a good thing to me. Even, winning.
