  1. By becoming the property speculators themselves and forcibly removing anyone who dare question them from their homes.

  2. <wouldn't they live more comfortably?> Not completely as they would need a vehicle. Things are cheaper, because they're economically depressed.

  3. Not really.

  4. And replace them with bureaucrats as the the new billionaires and CEO's.

  5. Public housing = ghetto.

  6. Since when did China or communists care about human rights?

  7. Not really. Housing is a privilege as no one is owed or obligated to grant anyone housing.

  8. Like Cuba, North Korea and Venezuela?

  9. Urban professionals at the bare minimum. That's who.

  10. Sharing and caring = usually with money and resources stolen from those who work and produce for a living.

  11. Exactly.

  12. And local zoning restrictions.

  15.  @Yoctopory  Shortages due to developers not wanting to build at a loss, never mind the restrictions on what and where they're allowed to build already.

  16. Only for them to get trashed due to neglect and irresponsibility.

  18. Cities are expensive, because that's where the money and anything desirable is at.

  19. Maybe when tenants come to terms with the fact that living in the city is a privilege.

  20. What has kindness done except enable and exacerbate the poor living conditions of some of the people by removing personal agency?

  21. But Hong Kong has no land to build it on. The US is held back by its cities' zoning restrictions.

  22. <and some care about the climate changes.> Namely overprivileged Karens with way too much free time on their hands.

  23. Trailer parks have nothing on the housing projects.

  24. Humanity doesn't do itself any favors so many of us will live in squalor regardless.

  26. But it still beats the disadvantage of socialism.
