I understand education and healthcare, but how do trade skills and housing require human interaction? For housing especially, a lot of foreign/remote investors can own houses and just collect rent checks from tenants in a pretty hand-off manner. Housing is supply-limited, sure, and heavily regulated, sure, but I don't think it requires human interaction, and certainly not to the scale of education or healthcare.

Who installs pipes, builds walls, installs electrical conduits? Humans.

Dwellings still require regular power, heat, security, support and regular maintenance. Those all require human beings.
