We're not talking about radioactive fluid (ionizing radiation). We're talking about non-ionizing radio frequency waves. The sun produces more of those than all your electronic equipment combined, and with a shorter (more energetic) wavelength to boot.

Agreed, the premise of the post scarcity society is false.
If there's truly no jobs and no scarcity, housing would be free.
There is no physical reason why this should not be the case.
Sure there is. It's called EROEI, or Energy Returned On Energy Invested. If that's less than 1, there's no point in doing it.

Don't forget the biggest source of hazardous radiation: the sun.
