technically Kirk didn’t have a cabin - that kitchen was some kind of construct within the Nexus wave he got swept up in. If he’d had a cabin he and the boys probably would have gone there in The Final Frontier instead of camping outdoors. But it’s a good question about the economics of the post-scarcity Federation, where everybody seems to take housing for granted. Who gets apartments and who gets chateaus?
Kirk had specific memories he was reliving, so at some point before or after FF he had the cabin. Also continuity is something of a myth in Trek.
Likely, one has the option to live to their level of comfort. Though, larger city living would generally be on the smaller side. There’s probably also restrictions on how large/opulent a home can be based on number of occupants.
I mean post scarcity means post scarcity. So anyone who wants a chateau gets one. Most people I don’t think would actually want one though. It means being more isolated, maybe one a newly habitable planet.
Personally I wouldn’t want or need one. Give me a truly for real actually sound isolated large apartment in a great location and I would be happy.
