I lived in a country which had a similar, government built, co-operatively operated housing. With no profit to be made, therefore no incentive, government being the "builder", the waiting list for an apartment reached 40 years by the time we escaped. People would sign their newborns up hoping by the time their children are 40 years old they would their own apartment to rent-to-own, unless of course you had the right connections, then you could bribe the appropriate people and get one earlier.

I lived in a country....BLAH, BLAH
What is it with you foreign conservatives who like to shit on progressive policies by likening the Democrats to your commie leaders back in your "country" without ever specifying what that country is. You guys just love your unverifiable anecdotal horseshit, don't you? I've seen this happen so many goddamn times on slashdot and elsewhere. Are you afraid that we'll call you out on your bullshit if you name the country and we fact check you?
Name the fucking country with this 40-year waiting list. I bet you can't because you're a worthless right-wing, lying asshole!!!
