      The framing is wrong. In the same way that "medical insurance" exists to deny coverage, not to provide it, the landlords-and-tenants model exists to deny housing, not to provide it. Like how mana in video games exists specifically to make mana management an issue for the player.

      Can we agree that there are going to be problems no matter who owns the housing? Because it seems like there are. Collective decision-making doesn't automatically correct prejudices and leaves plenty of room for personality conflicts I understand the worry here

      Yes, there are going to be problems, but under out current system we literally have more empty homes than we have homeless people. The for-profit model doesn't produce humane results, so maybe we should try something else instead of just acting like this is the way it has to be.

      Nobody here is saying the current system is good. Only that *a* system which still included renting would not be inherently bad

      Also there's a big difference between thinking something will NEVER be possible and thinking it isn't possible *right now*, or that it can't be reached quickly and without intermediate steps

      Some things are in fact complicated enough that they CAN'T be done all at once without screwing something up catastrophically. Others simply require more consensus than can be attained in a single election, even if every open seat moved left

      I would argue that big sweeping change is the only thing that works. It's taken conservatives decades to dismantle the New Deal, while stuff like DACA didn't survive past a single executive term.

      It's taken conservatives decades to get to where they can dismantle the New Deal and survive it politically. Dozens of ultra rich diehards created entire media empires dedicated to it I'd love some sweeping change and think we should aim for it, but we need more than belief here

      Yeah doesn't this argument contradict itself The conservatives *were* acting incrementally in order to do *bad* things and... it's been working Remember there was a time when the Republican President said Social Security and other New Deal programs were absolutely untouchable

      Anyway re: housing specifically this is one of those interesting things FDR really did want widespread public housing as part of his New Deal People thought of it as a natural extension of the other GI Bill benefits after the war, there was no better time to pass it

      But Truman caved on it The conservatives won that argument, that that was going too far, even for an America that was as public-spirited and collective-minded as it had ever been after winning WWII The American Dream is *owning* your house

          You could argue this either way, like it could be a sign that American culture is just set up so that this is a boundary you can't cross, or that this was a tragic betrayal that was the crack in the foundation of everything else the New Deal did Or both
