The only “right” answer lies in the idea that one’s home should out prioritize another’s investment.

Investment supports a class driven, divide building system.

Homes support humans.

One of the two above clearly, imho, has “right of way.”



What if I'm using my home as an investment to fund my retirement? for which I have no savings... this is never as clear as you think it is


For you. But for me, applying pressure (political or financial) to get my way without deleterious consequences to myself is the way to live.

Why shouldn't I simply arrogate to myself the right to direct all of society's resources to my own comfort? The Veil of Ignorance is nonsensical. I can condition probabilities of outcomes on my current state and choose appropriate action.

Why would I discard any power I have? That just transfers the balance of power to power of another sort that others have.


The logical conclusion of this is a panopticon, where those with more power lord over those with less in all areas of life. Sounds great for some, I guess.

Me, I like some freedom.


Well, the problem with building such weapons is that they may be pointed at you. Price that in and the best case is lots of rules for you and few rules for me.

Which I like. Your desire for freedom is unlikely to be very deep. You'll give it up to impose rules on your neighbor, most likely.
