wait, wait wait wait

And let’s say you ban the postal service from this new city because all they do is deliver garbage anyway. (All bills will be online.) And let’s say if you do accumulate a bag of garbage you can just summon a garbage vehicle to meet you at the curb using the same app you use for other vehicles. By the time you walk to the curb, the vehicle pulls up, and you toss the bag in.

I'm surprised he didn't take it to its logical conclusion and just get rid of transportation all together. teledildonics and e-learning and home farming means you never have any need to go anywhere, ever.

Scott Adams' utopia will have those solar panel roads like from the kickstarter, only they'll be cheaper than those because they'll be underground so they don't have to be weatherproof.

thats the best part, his entire scenario is basically "what if everything that causes problems in civilization was changed so it didnt cause problems then everything would be awesome wouldnt it"

it also ignores how much slack the outside world has to pick up to make and deliver your self driving cars, identical wifi routers, astroturf and various sauces and condiments

This sort of city has to be opt-in only, or by invitation only. I think you do have to engineer the population at the same time.

in Scott Adams' utopia, there will be no need for tradesmen of any kind, because if any Thing ever breaks (VERY rare because everything is of better quality), you will just press a button in an app and by the time you look out your window a new Thing will have been delivered by a robot car

The repair and maintenance costs of homes can drop to nearly zero if you design homes from the start to accomplish that goal. You start by using common windows, doors, fixtures, and mechanical systems from a fixed set of choices. That means you always have the right replacement part nearby. Everyone has the same AC units, same Internet routers, and so on. If something breaks, a service guy swaps it out in an hour. Or do it yourself. If you start from scratch to make your homes maintenance-free, you can get close. You would have homes that never need paint, with floors and roofs that last hundreds of years, and so on.

this man literally doesn't understand the meanings of the word "maintenance" and "costs"

e: or basic physics

Sounds like a great way to eliminate competition and choice
