One Shared House survey results

[iteles]

I was doing some digging around for shared spaces documentaries and came across http://onesharedhouse2030.com/

It's only a 10 minute short which is interesting to watch, but the most interesting part is that at the end they have created a survey.

Presumably the people who go as far as to watch the short already have an interest in shared living but even so, these results show what this subsection of the population is most and least willing to share:

I found this somewhat surprising as I wouldn't expect toilets to be what people least want to share! Though I note bedrooms don't feature here at all.
Having said all of this, only 65% of the people who took the survey would be willing to share their internet connection which is also bizarre to my (first world, fast connection) way of thinking.

Whilst this is a completely different group of people to those who might be interested in home, it's an interesting read.

@iteles agree that it's a very interesting project and great that they are doing a survey.
a little concerned that their survey design is flawed and it forces respondents to perform way too many clicks.

The circular percentage visualisation of the results is probably the most poorly designed visual representation. 🤦‍♂️

A full viewport auto-play video with no player controls to rewind content that moves too fast ... 🙄
had to right-click on screen to enable "show controls"

and then enter full-screen mode to see timeline!

Survey

I answered the survey and took complete screenshots so anyone following along doesn't have to go through the pain of the annoying interface and background music/loop!

Development:

Origins:

Service layer: "would you pay extra for a service layer to manage all house related items?

Tolerance (what are you comfortable sharing):

my response:

survey result:

Size: "what is the right amount of people for your community?"

survey result:

4-10 people is a family, not really a "community" ... what most people are missing is family life. 😕

Energy

Survey result: "pay based on the amount of energy used per person":

I think the "home of the future" will generate it's own energy and deliver surplus to "the grid",
so provided the members of the community are energy-aware there is no need to "negotiate" energy use.

Dynamics: "what should your fellow house-members be like?"

Survey result:

Pros: "what do you think will be the biggest pro of living with others?"

survey result:

Cons: "what do you think will be the biggest con of living with others?"

survey result:

Ownership: who owns your community?

Personality: "what are some of the most important qualities in a house-member?"

Here we see that the survey was clearly designed by someone on an iMac (large screen)
because the results require scrolling.

wonder who on the survey design team wanted to include the word "hot" in the "personality" traits...?

Resolution: "someone never cleans up after themselves, how do you solve it?

Unavailable option: "remind people of the house rules: ilunga"

Assembly: "there’s a free space in the house, who should choose the new house-member?"

by definition "an algorithm" could include people voting with a weighting towards people who have more "karma points". the idea of "one person, one vote democracy" is how we get Brexit & Trump; i.e. terrifying. see: https://www.vox.com/2018/3/5/17035848/democracy-populism-trump-europe

The algorithm is more likely to be transparent, unbiased, and trustworthy than influenceable people.
I'm not referring to a self-learning algorithm which nobody understands, rather one which is visible to everyone so all know what the principals and selection criteria are.

Space: "how do you prefer the spaces in the house to be utilized?"

Furniture: "should the house come furnished?"

Noted. This actually makes my life much easier; make communal area furniture.

Privacy: "when you are not home, are others allowed to use your private room?"

Makes a rather big assumption: "private room" ... 🙄

If you want to perpetuate isolation and loneliness, give people a place they can lock themselves away.

Cooking: "if healthy food can be delivered for free, do you still want a private kitchen?"

this is a super biased question. the intent (desired result) is very clear from it's design:

Commuting: "if your community has a self-driving car, where would you prefer to live?

Survey result: people want to live in the City.

Location: "do you want to live in a community that has locations all over the world?"

Again, biased survey design.
the "Yes, I want to be a nomad" is both the first and the "positive" answer ...

Sill it's the "result" that matters. people apparently want to be "nomad".

Pets: "are you okay with pets in the house?"

This is a good question with a range of responses:

but it should have had a free text option for people to input their "other" (suggestions).

All complete:

Or so you thought ...
Now they want personally identifiable information ...
I regret not answering this in an Incognito window.
given that the site uses Google Analytics:

which is "always watching" ...

## BS Confirmation message:

"thanks No. 86746. your application has been submitted. you’ll be hearing from us somewhere in the year 2030. in the meantime see what other people think about co-living."

I'm sure I will be hearing from you ... 🙄

With your amazing attention to detail ...

Uncaught (in promise) DOMException: play() failed because the user didn't interact with the document first.

keep scrolling if you want to see all the "insights":

The "future" is not Twitter or Facebook ...
modest "buzz" on Tw: https://twitter.com/search?f=tweets&q=onesharedhouse2030

The most interaction is with the original tweet: 5 re-tweets and 22 likes ... 😕
https://twitter.com/space10_journal/status/966672717343870978

Fb has very little interaction: https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=onesharedhouse2030

The intro video has "150,839 Views" was clearly promoted at the time of release.
because it only has 561 "likes" ... and only 96 "shares" ...
hardly worth calculating the "viral coefficient" ...
https://www.geckoboard.com/learn/kpi-examples/marketing-kpis/viral-coefficient/

Still, if their counter is anything to go by N.86746 is a decent survey sample!
I tried the survey in inconito a few mins after I submitted my original one and got: N.86757

So the counter appears to be incrementing ...

However this does not give any insight into the percentage completion for each respondent.
Which I'll bet falls off a cliff considering how many sections and clicks there are!

@iteles thanks for sharing. 😉
