An awful alternate reality:

Imagine if we had to actually:

Pay taxes according to our plot value

Fight off pests and chapaas in our garden

Have a crafter break and needing repair

Getting spam mail from Zeki and his deals or random NPCs telling us our gliders extended warranty has ran out.

Having your pets pee and chew up furniture that you have to clean or repair

Dust accumulation in the house that you have to clean

It would be awful
