Housing

Homes. How do you live in LATMA? That all depends on your level of income, and your status.
Bright, and Average. You're the average joe corper. You have a wife and two kids. One boy, one girl - you picked their genders. You work for a corporation, and in return they provide you with a place to live: a mid-level apartment in a towering high rise, with a good view of the high rise right across the street - and you don't own it. You pay no rent, however: your corporation covers that.
You have three bedrooms: one for yourself, and one for each of your children. Once they are old enough for their minds to handle the interface, the kids are wired with a datajack, and spend much of the rest of their youth wired in - education, entertainment, and everything in between.
Your laundry is sent down a chute, each piece of your clothing tagged with a tracking chit. Every Tuesday, your laundry is returned to your closet, cleaned and folded. Your refrigerator is mostly stocked with pre-made meals that are ready for the microwave. When a meal is taken out and prepared, the dietician software built into the apartment automatically adds a replacement to your shopping list - not that you ever actually go grocery shopping. Your food and other basic essentials are delivered to your living room weekly, as well.
Most of your technology is consolidated into one device, and everyone in your household has one of these devices. Its your phone, your garage door opener, your thermostat, your alarm clock and your morning news, your ATM, your scheduler, and quite likely your life - without it, the average Bright citizen would feel totally lost. In a pinch, it can even double as a low-bandwidth Matrix access node.
If you're not in management, then you're taking the TUBE to work. In the rare circumstance where travel is required, a small two-seat Corporate aerodyne might be signed out for you. If you are lucky enough to be in management, then you either get picked up promptly at 6am at your front door by a carpooling dyne - or, if you're doing really well, you have your own company dyne parked on the roof. The higher you are in your corporation, the higher the floor your live on in your residence. The elite live in penthouse apartments occupying an entire floor, with a view out above the roofs of neighboring buildings, and even above permanent layer of polluted smog clouds that hangs above the city.
