Comment on Rent is theft

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?

In a capitalist system, the government could print the money to give out a loan and destroy that money once the loan gets payed back to soften inflation.
But ideally, building housing shouldn’t be done for profit, either. But I guess that would require capitalism to be abolished. Which would be - again - ideal.
