How would it even work?
Government builds a house
Gives the keys to who?
The everyone else would think its unfair
Which countries do governments build houses, where a free market already exists? (And those houses arent for a select minority such as wheel chair users)
Pretend i'm speaking to you like you're a child because i am
Remember when the reddit propaganda about China was they're building ghost cities because of, idk, making their gdp look better or some nonsense? I'm sure you saw that and believed in it. Well, ten years later people live in those buildings now. They were planned housing built around high speed rail hubs so you can walk there and go to either beijing or shenzhen in like 2 hours. There's a reason china is literally like the only place in the world where housing is affordable and the cost has gone down.
It literally happened right in front of your eyes but you believe it's just impossible here. There's even western dipshits crying about how this would affect the housing market- which is the real reason it WON'T happen here, not that it CAN'T. All the fucking landlords who'd get their lunch eaten if they had to compete with at-cost government rents and weren't able to just charge whatever the fuck they want and increase rent every single year for no reason other than go fuck yourself
Anyway, if you still don't get it feel free to eat shit
To a person or family who can't afford housing
Only sociopaths would think that, and they need to fuck off
Most developed countries already do this, it's called "social housing"
Technically I believe the US does it as well. Just all funded so poorly they hit a very negligible portion of the people that need it.
Indeed
People who cannot afford housing is a minority
so if it's a minority (big if), we should just say fuck them? they cant afford housing but people who already have a house (or two...) might be upset that there are fewer homeless people, so let's not do anything at all.
you're a monster.
I didnt say let them rot in the street. Thats your go-to interpretation.
There are other solutions, you narrow minded fool
You are suggesting they are denied housing. What other 'solutions' are there other than to force them to live on the streets?
what are those then? those magical market based solutions that'll definitely work.
Such as provide them a place to live? Or are you thinking of a different kind of solution?
Reeducation camps won't be necessary. They will be mandatory for people like you.
What? Are you living in the 80s??
Most of them that have the capability? Never heard of social housing? Typical Amerikkkan brain.
Citizens can apply for housing similar to applying for an apartment, just publicly run and funded rather than for profit. Social housing already exists.
