      Housing is only constructed because there are landlords. If the construction companies don’t sell the properties, they would become the landlords.

      How do you want the housing market to work without landlords?

            There shouldn’t be a housing market, markets are inefficient, and you shouldn’t create winners and losers around basic human needs.

                There are countless more efficient ways that are just less efficient at generating income for the ownership class. Do I need to run over all the strategies from pre-fuedalism to the varieties of modern public housing?
