    Yeah, uh huh, okay. So go do that if you really think you can come up with public housing that isn’t a fucking nightmare. And if you think you can get it passed. Until then, the rest of us have to live in the real world.

        You want the state to have a monopoly on rental housing and the sale of houses. That’s what I read.

          That’s correct. How is this “social housing nightmare”? Instead of the bank owning your house, the state will.

            Sounds awful. I don’t want ownership of my house to be exposed to malicious politicians and underfunded, incompetent bureaucrats following Byzantine regulations.

                Not really. We are in a best of both worlds situation here, with government credit backing competitive private loans.

                  Capitalism fanboys are the worst… You’re either a landlord, a boomer or deranged.

                  “Best of both worlds”. While housing crisis destroying lives of young people around the world. How fucking dare you.

                    Kiddo, the reason we have a housing crisis is because of restrictive zoning and other barriers to redevelopment or new construction. Very much not “capitalism.”
