There should be options other than renting and owning. If you don’t wish to own property there should still be housing available to you, but it doesn’t need to be rented from a landlord, it could be collectively owned (by tenants), municipal ownership, or something else. Relying on people with capital to provide housing while profiting from your need for housing is a broken system.
Sure, why dont you start one and give away your labor to people that dont want to work as much as you?
If you don’t want to participate in a market system why do you not simply die?
Because I dont want to die. If there were no market system how would you get food and survive?
Do you think market economies are the only kind humanity has ever had?
No, but how is a market economy worse than what people did in the past?
Consider the thread we’re in. Housing perhaps should not be market driven
Do you really want government provided housing? The ones I am aware of are places like the projects and were the worst place to live (unless you were a drug dealer).
When imagining that the government do more can you not imagine that it do better?
Yes Americans have a shit government, they also don’t have a socialist government.
You’re pointing to the corrupt right wing hellscape you currently live in to deny that another way would be better.
