    All landlords are in it for the profit. They should instead do more condominiums, so you can own the space you live in. We shouldn’t have to live the rest of our lives paying rent.

      True, but he means nationalized, so publicly owned, publicly funded.

      Not only is rent there seen as temporary ownership (same in Germany), with really strong protections but the rent itself is like $300-$400 euros a month, barely anything for a top tier apartment that’s basically a solarpunk megabuilding.

      I honestly think that’s preferable to paying mortgages for also for-profit banks and ‘climbing the ladder’.

      The lack of ownership as an option also prevents the accumulation of such wealth that someone can buy it all out and make it all worse again
