A house is an object; a habitat is a node in a multiplicity of overlapping networks – physical (power, water and sanitation, roads), economic (urban transport, labor markets, distribution and retail, entertainment) and social (education, health, security, family, friends). The ability to connect to all of these networks makes a habitat valuable.
问题在于人们不需要房子，他们需要栖身之所。房子是目标；栖身之所是重合网络多样性——实物（电、水、环境卫生和道路）、经济（城市交通、劳动力市场、分销和零售、娱乐）和社会（教育、医疗、安全、家庭、朋友）——的节点。能够与所有这些网络连通就是栖身之所的价值。
