    I can only assume Project 2029 was written by people who believe in a Democratic Party that doesn’t exist. No, they won’t provide housing. They’re controlled opposition.

      Guaranteed “access” to housing. If your too poor, you just die in the street. (This is basically the model of Obamacare btw)

      If it’s entirely up to us to provide human rights to ourselves, and the huge proportion of people who can’t do that and therefore don’t have a supposed human right are brushed off as personal failures rather than systemic, then sure seems like human rights don’t actually mean anything.

        How would it even work?

        Government builds a house

        Gives the keys to who?

        The everyone else would think its unfair

        Which countries do governments build houses, where a free market already exists? (And those houses arent for a select minority such as wheel chair users)

          Pretend i’m speaking to you like you’re a child because i am

          Remember when the reddit propaganda about China was they’re building ghost cities because of, idk, making their gdp look better or some nonsense? I’m sure you saw that and believed in it. Well, ten years later people live in those buildings now. They were planned housing built around high speed rail hubs so you can walk there and go to either beijing or shenzhen in like 2 hours. There’s a reason china is literally like the only place in the world where housing is affordable and the cost has gone down.

          It literally happened right in front of your eyes but you believe it’s just impossible here. There’s even western dipshits crying about how this would affect the housing market- which is the real reason it WON’T happen here, not that it CAN’T. All the fucking landlords who’d get their lunch eaten if they had to compete with at-cost government rents and weren’t able to just charge whatever the fuck they want and increase rent every single year for no reason other than go fuck yourself

          Anyway, if you still don’t get it feel free to eat shit

          Most of them that have the capability? Never heard of social housing? Typical Amerikkkan brain.

          To a person or family who can’t afford housing

          The everyone else would think its unfair

          Only sociopaths would think that, and they need to fuck off

          Which countries do governments build houses, where a free market already exists?

          Most developed countries already do this, it’s called “social housing”

            Technically I believe the US does it as well. Just all funded so poorly they hit a very negligible portion of the people that need it.

              Reeducation camps won’t be necessary. They will be mandatory for people like you.

          Citizens can apply for housing similar to applying for an apartment, just publicly run and funded rather than for profit. Social housing already exists.
