Some people think they should come from private companies, I literally suggested nationalizing them through pension funds, at the end it doesn’t matter as long as they are all urgently added. Again, if having a roof over our heads was the only issue, you can solve it now by buying a mobile home and moving to Atlantics or the Territories.
