Cullen G | ----Are houses necessary? |
I mean, we live in an advanced age! Travel has become so wonderfully easy. Is it really necessary to tie ourselves down to moldy, decaying buildings? Is it not possible for everyone to lead an itinerant lifestyle? Wouldn't it be more healthy? Additional Details I call for a world in which humble country-inns shall abound, and, ownerless, open their doors to all weary travelers! |

Who would operate these humble, country-inns? Obviously they would need permanent proprietors. And wouldn't those people need to have houses to live in? Or at least an apartment in the inn? So doesn't that qualify as tying oneself down to a moldy, decaying building?
Who would grow our food or produce the basic things we need to survive? These people need to be permanent residents on their land in order to grow and harvest crops. Even if all industry was scaled back to the cottage level, it would still require people to have cottages. It's not like you'd haul a loom around with you everywhere you went. And if our lifestyles were so dramatically scaled back, travel would no longer be wonderfully easy. There would be no one to manufacture aircraft or refine fuel or maintain roads because these are operations that require a stable and long-term work force.
So, to answer your question... yes, we need houses. And no, it is not possible for everyone to lead itinerant lifestyles. Personally, I wouldn't really want to anyway. I like having a place in the world. |

Good for you that you can travel 365 days a year. Most of us spend about 95% of our time working steady jobs to support ourselves and our families so that whole being tied to one place is kind of a necessity.
It would be a really messed up world if no one stayed in one place. How do you expect society to continue if we don't have people working permanent jobs to provide products and services to each other as well as the ability for each to buy the others goods? Sure, some material goods can be given up, but we can't exactly manage without doctors, law enforcement, farmers, etc. WTF are you smoking? |

1. Moving sucks
2. You can build net worth by renting.
3. Why would it make a difference from moving from one "decaying building" to another? |

They have those, but you need a house. Haven't you ever heard George Carlin's routine about a place to keep your stuff? |

Random, vacant, moldy, decaying, mini-hotels just yours for the using? Sounds cool to me. |

If you were not part of the counter culture/hippie movement in the 60's you missed that era. While thinking up this silly notion, did you ever stop and realize not everyone is like YOU? Not everyone wants to ramble about from abode to abode? If you want to just be a nomad, go for it, but don't push it as gospel to the rest of us. Some of us like owning our old moldy houses! LOL |

It would be more expensive and detrimental to your mental health, everyone needs a special place to go to every once in a while, besides, where do you keep your stuff! |
