Comment: I don't believe I've posted the floorplan to Lee's apartment anywhere, but I do have a floorplan, and yes, it does have three bedrooms. Or, at least, it has three rooms that could contain beds. Lee's actual bedroom is crammed full of marstaku merch, and the other two rooms are primarily storage. The living/entertainment room is as clear as it is because the butlerbots interpret it as a shared space, and therefore keep Lee's belongings from cluttering it up. (This is the actual canonical reason, and the fact that it kept me from having to redraw dozens of futuristic Funko Pops in the preceding 200 panels is just a convenient coincidence.) Lee, of course, is actually legally entitled to comfortable housing, just as they're entitled to food, medical care, Internet access, and facetime with their loved ones (if any). If Lee were actually homeless, starving, and destitute, the leaders of the government responsible would be tried in the Hague. Regardless of the robustness of society's safety net, though, there will always be people like Patricia Hightower, people who feel they need to police the consumption of the leeches. The fact that Patricia's position wouldn't exist without ample government funding is beside the point, the fact that they spent the first three decades of their life as a full-time student is also beside the point, and the fact that in 2167, at least half of the human population doesn't actually perform labour in direct exchange for money is even further beside the point. |
