Living Good Lives

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

In 2040, I would like to see housing become a human right and to see every human being housed safely and securely. This housing would be guaranteed despite income or employment status. Houses would become affordable through 3-D printing materials and through government social housing schemes, housing lotteries and affordable mortgage schemes. Houses could be owned or rented but everyone is housed. Derelict houses will be renovated and vacant/hoarded properties will not be permitted by landlord. Air BnB will not be allowed post full apartments or houses (only rooms in-house like normal BnBs). This economic and social security would boost local and cultural economies. The cities will belong to the people who live, work, and care there not to multinational corporations or to tourists (though tourists are of course welcome).

Visionen
Firstly, that I live to see the year 2040. I also very much hope that we will be able to avoid senseless wars in the future and enable everyone to live a life worth living. I wish us all that the problems in the area of the environment and climate change will not get worse by then so that my great-grandchildren will still have a future, The cohesion of people with each other is an important point for a contented life, unfortunately this point currently leaves a lot to be desired. It will only get better if there are no more serious differences. As long as the rich keep getting more while most people barely know how to get by each month, unfortunately not much will happen. What a pity,

Budúcnosť nevidim rúžovú - zbrojenie nas privedie ku koncu sveta a náš koniec na tejto zemi
I would like to see free modern healthcare, to see European salaries and product prices harmonised, there must be no difference between European countries. The rich are getting richer from our work, so let this profit be distributed among all those who participate in it. Every job is important and everyone is entitled to a decent life - only one has it.

les voyages du futur
By 2040, the way we travel will have changed completely. No more human-driven cars. We'll be boarding spacious, comfortable machines equipped with a variety of games and screens. All we'll need to do is ask for our destination, and we'll arrive at high speed, stress-free and fatigue-free.

Nevalné vyhlídky.
The main issues to be tackled are migration, peace, the environment. The EU needs to impose tough rules so that it does not pay for anyone to migrate to Europe. This could be done by 2040. Migration causes unrest in society, fear among local people, acts of terrorism. Peace - calming the war in Ukraine, the conflict between Israel and Hamas. These two conflicts make us most nervous. Politicians should do everything to bring about calm. And the environment? The whole planet must try to improve the situation, Europe will not save anything.
