So, like, tear down all the apartment buildings and focus on putting every single human in a single family home for free? Like, how does your mental image of this work?
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.
If they sold it they’d be scumbag real estate agents, since we’re apparently taking everything to extremes.

Well apparently renting one out is to you, I’m just following your logic.
Yes, my extreme position of - I don’t believe people and corporations should own multiple properties while homelessness exists. I’m a true radical.
