This is actually an older news story, and it does appear as though she recovered from this before her death.

Even if ownership was shared equally, people would be forcibly removed from places that other people don't think they belong. Humans have needs that must be satisfied, and corruption so far has existed wherever satisfaction can be gained. Somebody will always try to con others for more than their fair share. It's not a problem of overcomplicating things, it's an issue of not having adequate systems to handle the unique situations of the disadvantaged and needy.

you talk a lot about the conditions of a system that takes a staggering amount of maintenance as if they're a natural unavoidable absolute of humanity.

then use that to imply that any of what's currently going on addresses any of these problems in a way anyone who isn't high (and apparently some of us who are) would ever accept.

its not convincing.
