Imagine a world where you didnt have to be a slave to capital for the right to live, truly horrifying (for capitalists)
Social housing
You want to change the system? I don’t get it, within the current system that wouldn’t work. /s
If no one is allowed to own a domicile in a residential zone intended for one or more people unless they personally reside there at some given point in a year, the prices of houses would be pretty agreeable, and then yes, people would be paying mortgages, which also means they’d own all the equity they are buying into while they live there. Landlords provide nothing but more exploration of people already exploited to death.
Nobody can have it better than they had it because it’s unfair that they didn’t
I get the joke, but I still feel compelled to point out that the alternative is affordable housing (both with rentals and ownership). If congress has the power to cap Baseball salaries, certainly they have the power to cap housing costs. Now we just need to figure out how to get them to do it.
Affordable? It’s an improvement over the status quo, sure, but what’d be even better is decommodified housing.
First step would be to get Wallstreet out of the landlord business.
If idiots were a commodity, this would be our gold rush
I feel like someone didn’t get the sarcasm.
Or were they just playing off it 🤔
We’ll never know
What’s with the whole anti-sarcasm thing? What’s the alternative? People are just supposed to go around expressing sincere opinions like rubes??
Yes.
