  Almost everyone has to work to not become homeless.

  That’s true. Let’s fix that.

  And still: Do you pay 30 to 50% of your income in your own home for that?

    How to ‘fix’ that? Someone has to do the work to build and maintain housing? Should they do it for free?

      You could get rid of housing being a means for landlords to profit from and hold housing in a usufruct property relation, and/or in common. Building and maintaining housing can be managed by the community (or be payed for by the community).

        Who pays the upfront costs? Big taxes?

  dude, people like this don’t think those things exist, because they have never had to pay for them.
