ITT: people who want free housing without understanding the costs of owning a house
Or maybe just quality, affordable, public housing?
Look at what Finland has done for an example.
Imagine that, people in the wealthiest nations in the world, wanting to meet their basic needs for survival with dignity. Ha ha ha, when will they ever learn, right my friend?
Owning a house isn't that expensive.
I own one. It's so much cheaper than renting it's not even funny. I could pay someone to do all the work I don't want to and still come out so far ahead it's not even funny.
Renting is a scam and only useful idiots and scammers defend it.

The good thing is, people who don't want to rent can buy. I highly encourage people to do exactly that.
