    So they would still have a landlord it would be the government instead and people would be pissed when the government increases rent or throws people out because they’re destroying the place or not paying their rent…

      I’d much prefer to have social housing than slumlords that want to make a profit on the rented space while also keeping the value of the building.

        So, how does the government decide who gets beachfront property and who lives behind the power plant?

          The same way that it works now? The unit is for rent, you take an appointment and the first person that qualifies get it.

          This is not the gotcha you think it is. What so different than the current system?

            If nothing is different, why bother changing?

                That’s some alternative reality, you’re talking about. My government does try, and succeeds in bleeding every last penny that I earn.
