We will never achieve a post-scarcity society under our current economic model which fundamentally *encourages* artificial scarcity. See: diamonds, housing, and food production to name a few. "post-scarcity" is incompatible with capitalism.

I saw a 10 year old boil water advisory that was still in effect posted in a gas station in rural Canada. This was in cottage country too, plenty of property taxes being paid. If our government won't even fix the water supply for well-off vacationers, there is no hope for the hundreds of reservations and poorer communities without access to clean water.
"Almost nobody" is actually an unacceptable amount of people when you look at the details! And very little is being done to fix it!
On topic: The wealth of space will be snatched up by billionaires and trickled down on our heads from their ivory towers at minimum wage.
