    I’d much prefer to have social housing than slumlords that want to make a profit on the rented space while also keeping the value of the building.

      So, how does the government decide who gets beachfront property and who lives behind the power plant?

        The same way that it works now? The unit is for rent, you take an appointment and the first person that qualifies get it.

        This is not the gotcha you think it is. What so different than the current system?

            Because the government wouldn’t be trying to bleed every penny out of tenants just because they can.

              That’s some alternative reality, you’re talking about. My government does try, and succeeds in bleeding every last penny that I earn.
