Star Trek ignores real estate. Who gets the penthouse and who gets the first floor apartment next to the noisy space port. who gets the house with the beach view and who just get views of the wall of the neighboring building.


Who does all the really shit and boring jobs. Say mining or construction. And can they just take vacation in middle of project and let it hang for a few years? It is really distorted universe where either you have automation or do not... And timeline as whole really does not work...


I guess for projects people consider themselves important this could be done via personal honor system or even just interpersonal relation - I promised my friend the launch loop will be done by equinox & he would sad if I don't hold my word.


I guess if you press the post scarcity peddal hard enough youncould solve even that - space habitats potentially give so muc living space to make these issues moot.
