/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

technically Kirk didn't have a cabin - that kitchen was some kind of construct within the Nexus wave he got swept up in. If he'd had a cabin he and the boys probably would have gone there in The Final Frontier instead of camping outdoors. But it's a good question about the economics of the post-scarcity Federation, where everybody seems to take housing for granted. Who gets apartments and who gets chateaus?
Kirk had specific memories he was reliving, so at some point before or after FF he had the cabin. Also continuity is something of a myth in Trek.
Likely, one has the option to live to their level of comfort. Though, larger city living would generally be on the smaller side. There's probably also restrictions on how large/opulent a home can be based on number of occupants.
I mean post scarcity means post scarcity. So anyone who wants a chateau gets one. Most people I don’t think would actually want one though. It means being more isolated, maybe one a newly habitable planet.
Personally I wouldn’t want or need one. Give me a truly for real actually sound isolated large apartment in a great location and I would be happy.
