Lumina should encourage youth to migrate through a guaranteed public housing program. Basically, we should have a "work for housing" scheme, where anyone who contributes a certain number of hours of labor to the development of Lumina should be guaranteed a house for (very) low cost. This will also give them an economic and political intrinsic interest in Lumina. Of course, this program will be dependent on the quality and use of the labor to Lumina. Additionally, to attract investment, we should have a program of affordable housing, perhaps around 50-100k USD for a basic house. Either way, an affordable housing program will be a great asset for Lumina. We should not see housing as a speculative investment, but as a way to attract people to Lumina and give them a stake in our society, politics, and economy. Cheap housing will allow people to invest more in our actual economic development – building companies, employing people, loaning money, investing in shares, contributing to politics. Finally, home ownership builds community, as if everyone has a basic stake in our society, people will see each other as equals that they need to care for and support. Nothing is more harmful to social harmony and solidarity than inequality.
