I don't agree with the "socialist loser" bit; but here are just some of the ways the proposed approach fails, based on things we have already tried:
People don't like paying rent for property other people own. That doesn't just apply to small-time owners, it applies to the Government, the Property Managers, Big Brother, or whomever else is the owner instead of the occupier. This will be seen as no different to renting.
You might think that the above problem will be lessened if the occupier either: 1) pays les
My current housing is a perfect example of how private versus rental properties are treated. It was originally built in five identical lots. They're in the same neighborhood, on the same street, but not interconnected within themselves. Two of the lots were made into Condos: sold to owners. Three of the lots were made into apartments to be rented. The difference in upkeep between the two is staggering. The condos are reasonably nice. the apartments always look like they need some work. Public areas in the condos are well maintained. Public areas in the apartments are trash strewn heaps.
