I think Maslow's pyramid of needs would be a good starter. But let's be more concrete.

  • House (60 m2, +20 m2 per extra person in household), with electrification, and which can withstand severe weather events (heatwaves, blizzards, heavy rain and wind, etc.).

  • Clean air and environment without fine dust, microplastics, PFAS, asbestos, etc.

  • Clean, potable and heatable water available anytime

  • Healthy and clean food free from animal suffering made available for all

  • Everyday and affordable clothes available for all

  • Bodily integrity: only the person themselves can decide over their own body, with the exception of vaccination (because everyone ought to be vaccinated!)

  • Labour rights, such as automatic unionisation, workplace democracy and self-governance, no vertical hierarchy (so no CEO, overreaching holdings, trusts, etc). And ideally, a wageless gift economy system based on needs. If not that, then this: any company lacking one of the above/being too big, may never get bailed out.

  • Protection of personal property, with private property becoming communal property instead.

  • Encouragement of meeting people at sport, hobbies, reading (helps finding friendship)

  • Bicycle and public transit infrastructure being widely available.

  • Free and high-quality public education available for all

  • Same with healthcare. No artificial limit mandating that there be max x amount of doctors or teachers.
