Because having neighbours and strangers, people you don’t know, taking your car, apparently at random, would be terribly progressive and super-convenient, and “fun,” and “not annoying.”
More on Ms Auken’s vision of tomorrow can be found here:
All these things, these beastly capitalist products, would be “free.”
And not yours.
Update, via the comments:
If the above sounds like an evasive, rather coy way of saying, “Everything will belong to the state,” or, “Surrender all territory,” then hold that thought.
Update 2:
In the comments, Brother John quips, rather pithily,
Indeed. We might also pause to consider the endless glamour of so-called “social” housing projects, where decidedly anti-social behaviour is not exactly uncommon, or public transport, or any number of other areas in which responsibility is dispersed and nebulous. Take away the territorial aspect, the ownership – the concept that Ms Auken finds so bothersome and passé – and things are generally much more likely to tend towards degradation.
Sometimes quite rapidly and to an eye-widening extent.
The human urge to have some territory over which other people – and the state – do not have total dominion is not a trivial thing.
Or, as Mr Muldoon puts it,
But hey, progress.
