    There are apartments, townhomes, duplexes, condos, single family homes, bungalows, and maybe more I am forgetting. Pretty easy to look up if you actually tried. For MDUs, condo associations do that all the time, and even though I hate them, HOAs serve the same person for single family units. Again, all easily searched if you took the time to. This could be transitory to simply providing housing through HUD.

    Here’s a list of countries that have nationalized businesses, usually relating to critical infrastructure. Which housing would fall under. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nationalizations_by_country

    Not that insane, just disingenuous of you to say that. Plenty of countries here that I would live in. Australia, Spain, France, Germany, Portugal, Japan, Netherlands, Sweden, Iceland, New Zealand, Finland, Canada, UK, Indonesia - all have nationalized businesses within recent/modern history and businesses haven’t fled those countries en masse. And of course, go ahead and take a look at nationalization in the United States. It sounds to me like you were trying to make a point about certain countries YOU don’t like, and ignoring all the other countries that have nationalized businesses, which includes the one we live in! Maybe you should reconsider your internal biases.

    Forbes is not a good source. Lol

    That’s not an issue of enough housing for people to live in. Desirability is a separate issue tackled through improving the local economy, job offerings, amenities, etc.

    How would I lower the prices? If you listened earlier I mentioned increasing the availability of housing vouchers and also lowering the requirements for eligibility.

    It doesn’t feel like people read what I say so I think I will end the conversation here. Take care.

    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.

    Fair enough then. You’re right about this individual being miniscule compared to those who are purposely wreaking havoc on housing.

    You didn’t insult me and I have been bitter towards you. I used to believe in decorum and always being kind, but it felt like it got me nowhere. I apologize to you and hope you have a good day.
