Post-scarcity does not refer to the physical resources required to maintain civilization. It refers to the ability to maintain said resources and civilization without a lot of human labor. We could have ten houses per person, but housing still wouldn’t fall under the post-scarcity umbrella until we could maintain and build new houses with minimal human labor.

I was referring to the fact that building and maintaining housing is still a largely manual process, and requires a fairly large amount of human labor. Maintaining power, water, sewage, and other things required for modern housing requires an even larger amount of human work.

Whether there are enough houses to actually fit all the people is unrelated to this.

Post-scarcity refers to most goods being able to be produced in abundance with minimal human labor. Even assuming that current food production fully falls under that umbrella, housing definitely does not, and it requires a lot more than just food and housing.

The day we can mass produce gold is the day we have a post-scarcity society. Full elemental transmutation, which would be required to mass produce gold, would also eliminate virtually all resource shortages.

IIRC, light speed delay (or technically, electricity speed delay) it’s also a factor, but I can’t remember how much of a factor.

Haven’t they also been trying to put back doors into everything for the last decade?
