There are apartments, townhomes, duplexes, condos, single family homes, bungalows, and maybe more I am forgetting. Pretty easy to look up if you actually tried. For MDUs, condo associations do that all the time, and even though I hate them, HOAs serve the same person for single family units. Again, all easily searched if you took the time to. This could be transitory to simply providing housing through HUD.

Here’s a list of countries that have nationalized businesses, usually relating to critical infrastructure. Which housing would fall under. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nationalizations_by_country

Not that insane, just disingenuous of you to say that. Plenty of countries here that I would live in. Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Finland, Canada, UK, Indonesia - all have nationalized businesses within recent/modern history and businesses haven’t fled those countries en masse.

Forbes is not a good source. Lol

That’s not an issue of enough housing for people to live in. Desirability is a separate issue tackled through improving the local economy, job offerings, amenities, etc.

How would I lower the prices? If you listened earlier I mentioned increasing the availability of housing vouchers and also lowering the requirements for eligibility.

It doesn’t feel like people read what I say so I think I will end the conversation here. Take care.

So do I, and I am sorry he is threatening the best allies we have ever had.

You’re putting words in my mouth. The US government, if it chose, could increase assistance with its programs in HUD. The government could increase the availability of housing vouchers in the meantime while transitioning to guaranteeing some form of housing for its citizens. You jumped to single family homes as if that’s the only option, but there are many alternatives. The government could also nationalize corporations that gouge renters. There are many steps to be taken instead of hand waving away anything that isn’t perfect. Why would you tear down existing buildings instead of providing any alternatives? Do you know how many vacant homes there are in America? Over 15 million.

All of this is a pipe dream with the current administration.

You are right. My anger is making me worse. I am positioning myself as an enemy to you for no reason other than my own bitterness.

Private property makes money. Personal property does not. Home ownership, if you live in it, does not make you money and is personal property. A rental would be private property.

Fair enough then. You’re right about this individual being miniscule compared to those who are purposely wreaking havoc on housing.

You didn’t insult me and I have been bitter towards you. I used to believe in decorum and always being kind, but it felt like it got me nowhere. I apologize to you and hope you have a good day.

Personal property is not the same as private property.

That is true! Yes! Finally. I have lost my compassion since Trump was elected a second time. Hopefully I will find it again.

Thank you for pointing that out. I am becoming disillusioned.

Do you think they met, moved in, and got married in a week?

Yes, my extreme position of - I don’t believe people and corporations should own multiple properties while homelessness exists. I’m a true radical.

You can start by stopping the privatization of shelter. We can better fund and staff HUD for assistance to those who need shelter. This country is plenty wealthy enough to end homelessness, but it actively chooses not to. Same with food assistance. It’s a choice.
