Ahhh, they probably put the Lower Deckers and Engineering crew in the walls like on the Cerritos (we'll see, what, maybe 1/10th of the typical ship crew during a series run?) while the Upper, Medical and Bridge Officers get all the prime square footage.

I wonder if Scotty has a broom closet with a cot where he sleeps most, if not all, nights instead of the proper quarters he's also been assigned. McCoy tried ordering him to his quarters, but he couldn't get a good night's rest there, and eventually the doctor gave up.
The same episode where Scotty is shown to exaggerate repair estimates?
I'd have one of these in mine. "C'mon little rotors, lets get you revving at turbine speeds!"

This would be a valid point if we didn't see crew quarters in TOS. The quarters on the SNW Enterprise even dwarf those of a ship designed for comfort and is a significantly larger vessel.
So...I'm taking this statement as an absolute from someone who states they exaggerate?
The crew compliment would also be a factor. And if ENTERPRISE D is for comfort I'll take the TOS Enterprise.
They dwarf the crew quarters in TNG. I don't think Picard had quarters as big as Pike's.
I'm sure Starfleet hastily made some changes after the fallout from Beto Ortegas' documentary.
Poverty was eliminated in Pike's era?

The New World Economy was the socialist economic system that took shape on Earth; according to Tom Paris, it was around the 22nd century that "money went the way of the dinosaur." (VOY: "Dark Frontier")
The term "New World Economy" was only referenced by Tom Paris in "Dark Frontier"; in most discussions of the economy of the Federation, no specific name was used.
In 2259, Pelia recalled being unsure if the New World Economy, or as she referred to it, the "no money, socialist utopia", would last, preferring to hide in her Vermont bunker for a while. (SNW: "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow")
Under the New World Economy, material needs were no longer the focus or driving force of many people, rather, it was self-improvement, self-enrichment and the betterment of all. This effectively eliminated social problems like hunger and poverty and, as a result, money was no longer used. Humans took great pride in this, describing themselves as having "grown out of their infancy." The Federation, however, continued to deal with other cultures which had money-based economies, using credits, trade or negotiation instead. (Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, TNG: "The Neutral Zone", "The Price", "Time's Arrow, Part II", Star Trek: First Contact)
That didn't actually answer my question. Is poverty stated in dialog to be eliminated in this era?New World Economy

Money was eliminated in the 22nd century which takes place before Pike's time of the 23rd century? What about that is hard to understand?
Even Pike's quarters in "The Cage" were pretty spacious (a re-dress of the main conference room). Based on the mutli-axis roundness of the walls, I think they were intended to be in the B/C deck, directly beneath the bridge, which makes sense.
Doesn't mean much about poverty. Just that the means of exchange changed.
It didn't even mean much in Picard if you want to quibble because Raffi lived in a trailer home but because that counted as a home and she had a replicator she technically didn't meet the standards of poverty. There was like, a whole discussion about this when Picard was airing and I'm pretty sure you were around for those.
What's the standard of poverty in a post scarcity society?
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs has joined the chat.
If I recall correctly, it was stated in Broken Bow, set in 2151, that the people of Earth had eliminated things like hunger and homelessness.
Because that's not poverty. I lived in a trailer for 5 years and was not impoverished.
And doesn't actually still answer my question.
Thank you for answering my question.
