If you don’t make profit then either you’re losing money or straddling the line between profit and losing money, neither of which is sustainable. Then someone else will come in and try.

If you make even a penny of profit, then yes. Housing should never be something someone does to make money. Shelter is a basic human need for survival.

Should buying and selling homes be completely removed as a private institution then? What about land ownership entirely?

Yes. Anything that gives people monetary incentive over basic needs should be removed. Keep that shit to things that don’t matter.

While I get the concept, it’s kind of as realistic as Star Trek. We have a long, long way to go before people will voluntarily want to live in a system where your government owns the land, starting with developing a government that can be trusted. I don’t see that happening in the next several thousand years.
