>you need concrete engineers, crane operators, plumbers, electricians and about 40 other professions.

we'd still have them. nothing is "free". just like when we always had to do "work" we'll always have systems in place for people to benefit from the work they do. people benefited from the work t hey did before currency was invented. they'll continue to after currency is discarded .

You just said “give everyone a place to live” like there’s some house printer that can make extras.

Who exactly are you suggesting will be giving the houses, and who will pay for it?

who pays for it now? who makes the houses now? none of it would change. and no, not everyone needs a house. nowhere did i say we should build everyone a house. a place to live isn't necessarily a house. a house is something you'd need to work toward.

you're talking about the transition from a capitalistic, profit based system to one more humane. i'd imagine the people who most benefited from the system should be the ones to bear responsibility for fixing it.
