You don't need imagination to identify the needs, you need research. Which has been done:

FYI, you do have the liberty to stand in the street and shout profanity at the top of your lungs where I live. Where do you live?
Do you? I really, really doubt that.
But that's sort of the point. We're disagreeing about it. That means it's not objective. Besides which liberty is not a law, it's a principle. All societies curb freedom. You don't have freedom to not pay taxes, or to steal from people, or to cross borders without documents.
The things in that "research" Are not objective needs. They are nice things to have in that persons opinion.
