Well idk then

Such as?

More place to put things/free up space in your current home

Another option/place to stay when traveling

A place to put more people if you have extended family visiting

An entire space to renovate into a recreational space besides for living

literally so many things

What the benefit of it being in the hands of private individuals instead of state owned?

All of this can be handled by other means

There is inherent value to any space/land even in the absence of money

I will inherit land from my dad in Mexico, as well as a house. What would you suggest I do with it?

It's not something that should be 'handled', it's the freedom to do with something you own.

That recreational space better be a community center

Ur f***in evil if u dont build me a community center

Build a playground

You never truly own anything. A government can be voted in and take your property from you. That very nearly happened in 2017 in the UK. Corbyn was proposing a law to seize property empty for more than 6 months.

Ownership is all imaginary nonsense.

And that shouldn't be how it works

Grocery stores are evil and the concept is evil, food should be free.

I'll charge a 500/month membership fee for the community center with a 200 dollar security deposit

I disagree with you here. I think empty property should absolutely be seized by the government. There are properties empty for many years whilst people are on the streets, and during a massive housing crisis.

Don't use a property without good reason then have it seized.

If I already have hatred & distrust of landlords, what would be better about a corrupt state running housing? I have a feeling they’d be even more ruthless.

You'd have 0 ability of negotiation and you probably couldn't get a better home even if you wanted.

You might own your little spot but you're most likely going to be stuck with it.

Nah I'd rather not.

progressive caucus has been bringing this up on social media from what ive heard. bernies platform ran on those policies as well i think. i agree that the establishment is too embroiled in that industry to help

Oh empty? Yes.

I meant the government having the right to seize any property they want.

My b, read the post too quick.

Thats just America
In Canada the tenant has all the power

Will you be living in it

Food should be free yes

That's not how it works. It is actually easier to move to a different areas under a state owned public housing system. You literally just swap houses with people in other parts of the country. That is how it works.

It is extremely simple and has worked for decades in countries all over the world.

I am not for free housing by the way. I think houses should be owned by the government and the government charge affordable rent. Basically non profit housing.
