    Yeah, uh huh, okay. So go do that if you really think you can come up with public housing that isn’t a fucking nightmare. And if you think you can get it passed. Until then, the rest of us have to live in the real world.

      The FHA is already involved with lots of real estate transactions. The VA already provides some of the best loans in the country to military personnel. Just because you cannot envision the state being involved in housing without it turning into housing testaments from USSR doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

        Yep, and the great thing is that people have other choices, too. I’ve got no problem with FHA, VA, USDA loans.

        You want the state to have a monopoly on rental housing and the sale of houses. That’s what I read.

          That’s correct. How is this “social housing nightmare”? Instead of the bank owning your house, the state will.

            Sounds awful. I don’t want ownership of my house to be exposed to malicious politicians and underfunded, incompetent bureaucrats following Byzantine regulations.

                Not really. We are in a best of both worlds situation here, with government credit backing competitive private loans.

                  Capitalism fanboys are the worst… You’re either a landlord, a boomer or deranged.

                  “Best of both worlds”. While housing crisis destroying lives of young people around the world. How fucking dare you.

                    Kiddo, the reason we have a housing crisis is because of restrictive zoning and other barriers to redevelopment or new construction. Very much not “capitalism.”
