    We also need to outlaw landlords. Owning land is not a job and it’s certainly not a business.

      I think landlords make a lot of sense for commercially-zoned property, and for residentially there needs to be some way to live somewhere even if you can’t afford the mortgage deposit. So there’s nuance here that needs addressing IMO.

        We could just… give everyone a place to live. Then there’s no such thing as “can’t afford a mortgage.”

          Do people get to choose where they live in this scenario, or do we just allocate housing based on where’s currently unoccupied?
