It would be a bad look though to promote living spaces smaller than US prison cells, no? When I was a kid I had to share a room and we put a curtains up for privacy, when I lived in a dorm I shared an even smaller room, and the communal bathroom we had was disgusting. Now that I’m renting I do appreciate having the privacy and luxury of my own toilet and private bedroom. If I had full control of the housing market I would at least regulate some kind of minimum personal space per occupant in new houses.
It definitely is our concern if someone is living in a space the size of a closet. Supporting that undermines leftist urban planning causes. Humans may be able to survive in a small confined space, they may be able to fulfill their needs using communal amenities, they could eat nutrient paste, they could wear cheap utiltarian clothing, we could all live extreme ascetic lifestyles and technically it could fulfill our needs but people have desires, settling the issue of what treats people may have must be done eventually, and if we are going to be telling normal people offline that 70 sq ft of personal space is a treat they will be right to dislike us.
The issue is that if we don’t standardize some aspect of what is acceptable living conditions then inhumane things like 100 people sharing a toilet happen. There’s meeting the needs and increasing quality of life. 100 people can share the toilet, it would be efficient if kept clean, people might have to wait to take a shit but it would meet a need. It would be nice to have a personal toilet, it would be reasonable to assume that with proper planning everyone could have one. Maybe in some situations where there is scarcity and poverty that might not be possible and people will have to share. But 100 people sharing a toilet is disgusting. We should at least try to cap how many people use the same toilet.
Running water and electricity is something everyone should have regardless of culture, the best way we could facilitate access to these things is through public housing, now there might be variations in what housing looks like due to mostly climate but simply giving everyone more space than a us prison cell is the bare minimum, no cultural reason would justify anything less than 70 sq ft per person.
