Should pragmatic utopians advocate eliminating the upper class or the lower class? Are there any terms on which the upper class would allow the rest of us to buy them out? Being so severely outnumbered, they ought to be willing to negotiate. Their frenzy is sustained by their ability to take advantage of the kindness of strangers -- all the reasonable and agreeable people who just want to do their part. Enough already.

That's not my experience. Here in the US, storage problems on account of hobbies are routinely abated by parking one's car(s) outside the garage, renting storage lockers, putting a shed or three in the back yard, acquiring additional houses, helping your kids get a job and buying them a house, etc. The hobby ends when the house gets foreclosed, the family places the hobbyist into a geriatric care facility, or with the most poignant realization of the ashes-to-ashes cycle -- the reading of a will in which the former hobbyist thoughtfully explains to the disappointed heirs how they are supposed to divide up all the esoteric debris that no one wants.
