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.
Yeah but what if they ebded up separating with their partner? It just made sense to keep the property. Renting it out just covered the cost and made sure it was not empty.
They as a couple had multiple properties yes. But as individuals before moving in together each had 1. And rhat is oerfectly fine. Nobody expects you to immediately sell your property when you move in with someone.

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.

Yeah I really did type that out you bastard. It’s their fucking property. They could have left it empty. Having a property is just housing safety.

Do you think they met, moved in, and got married in a week?
How do you live alone in a fucking house?
