Housing and Poverty

The housing problem is only partly due to the lack of affordable housing. Another part of the equation is poverty in general, which prevents appropriate housing from happening in a broader sense. OSE solution to this issue is to allow poor people to generate more value at OSE so they could afford their own house, compared to working at their regular job to pay for the house. The theory behind this is that people are stuck in low paying jobs. Universal basic resources for housing – or means to generate capital in an optimized production environment while using the labor of the person – is a solution to this issue. This requires public infrastructure, such as that created by OSE, to enable such extreme production. This way an individual is not prevented from buying their own house because they don’t have money – they can generate the materials required for house building. This does not address the land issue where it land can be very expensive in various locations. The solution for this part is public infrastructure and a terms in a sense of affordable land purchase. If such land is remote, then jobs are not easy to come back. Thus the OSE solution is building and an internal economy based on advanced extreme production.

A prerequisite is skills training for able bodied people. Thus, global solutions, such as this - always go back to education. A part of that education must be accurate mental models of how the world works. For example, extreme production or abundance is not a hippie ideal. It is a rigorous discipline that must be pursued and learned by serious intent.
