The dystopia she is describing, when implemented, would be nothing like what she is describing.
It is a return to serfdom.
Where you cannot build a future for yourself or your family because you cannot build anything.
Where you are utterly dependent on the landowners for your daily survival.
They can tell you do anything they want under threat of having no food, no shelter, no transportation. You have no property, they can take everything from you in seconds.
Even if all the shit worked exactly as described and the government were perfect little angels that always put the people first the society being described is fucking terrible. People using my living room for business meetings when I'm not there? How about no and fuck off. Rent my kitchen equipment and send it back when I'm done with it? What the fuck is this? I won't own a car because instead I can get some piss-filled piece of shit to pull up on command any time I want? Hmm, my own car that I can keep how I want in the condition I want it in or some lottery where I get a car with a literal dead guy in it because he fucking shot himself due to the shithole of a society he was living in. Real hard choice, that one is...
You don't even need an outside source to tell you why this shit is antithetical to what it is to be a Human. Anybody with a brain can tell this would be an absolute atrocity just by reading it. It just feels wrong reading the words.

LOL yeah I'm with you on that.
OK just to be honest though. I think some people do get too many possessions and feel trapped by them. And I think that is where the attraction of Tiny Homes comes from. People dream of having nothing to guard or maintain.
For example, I just counted the number of gasoline engines I need to take care of. 10. And I'm just a random suburban person. A lawn, and three buildings to keep bug free, and deal with water leaks and rot. It seems to never end and as I get older it gets more and more difficult.
Fair enough. And yea there's definitely a yearning for freedom and a lack of ties or "chains" I guess you could say that comes with being Human but I'd also say there's a desire for something to call ours. Buying an expensive house and paying people to make it look good is one thing, but creating something yourself that's truly yours definitely has value I'd say. It doesn't need to be fancy or a lot, just something nice. Something that you made nice yourself and didn't just buy with money, most importantly.
