There was an article recently about Vienna, I think, and they made progress on the housing crisis by just having the state own the houses. Nationalize housing.
edit: Found the article: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/jan/10/the-social-housing-secret-how-vienna-became-the-worlds-most-livable-city
while that is a valid point, i do not trust any government to manage them properly.
and also something something individual freedom to buy property and rent it out to have a little passive income.
In the US, the republican party would 100% try to sabotage any government program because they're ideologically opposed to government. It would be difficult to run any program while they're around waiting to sabotage it.
Also passive income from renting property is not really idealistic or healthy.
Anyway, I found the article: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2024/jan/10/the-social-housing-secret-how-vienna-became-the-worlds-most-livable-city
The GOP is not ideologically opposed to government, they believe the government's sole purpose is punishment, keeping people "in their place", and engaging in grafting / racketeering. They have no issue stealing our tax dollars for the purpose of giving them to the police, military, and business subsidies.
They're ideologically opposed to anything but their government. Ftfy, they've shown that they love government. But only when they can use it as a weapon.
This is a good point. They want to use the government for stuff like banning queer books.
