Alright, we have said that when several energy efficient choices exist, the choice will be made by the sequences. But if this is true than what is to say that they will choose one that is not liked by the people?
I mean not all people want a modern-style city. Many like Victorian.
When will the sequences ask the people?
What will push them to consult the people's opinion at all.
The sequences control the military, and therefore cannot be stopped if the people do not like their choices. Coruption does not come from money, it comes from power, and those in power will have plenty of it, and no checks and balances.
I see another communist life style, in technocracy. I say this because even though you say you can choose where you want to live, you cannot choose what kind of house or how big.
You say that the government will be all ready to help the individual, but again I have heard of no mention of a constitution to protect the rights of the citizens and definately not a House of Representatives to make sure that the sequences follow the constituition.
The people want say, but they do not want to vote on every issue. Representative government is necessary in matters of public opinion, meaning that this Republic would consist of representatives with full access to the sequences research and development, so that they can choose the plans that will best suit the masses.
There is nothing stopping the sequences from lying and never offering choices, and you cannot say that there is no reason for them to do so.
(The communsit rulers were supposed to have the same powers and responsibilities, they were supposed to be minimal in their actions, but look at how communism became.)
