Considering how crazy expensive accommodations have become the last couple of years, concentrated in the hands of greedy corporations, landlords and how little politicians seem to care about this problem, do you think we will ever experience a real estate market crash that would bring those exorbitant prices back to Earth?

    If you don’t live in the building and it’s for permanent accomodation, you don’t own any part of it. Very simple. Feel free to rent out part of the building though if you do.

    Whatever mental gymnastics you did to get from there to homelessness being illegal don’t apply.

      |Make it illegal to own a home you don’t live in -> Feel free to rent out part of the building though if you do.

      Wouldn’t renting out a building you don’t live in be illegal? Or is AirBnB a loophole?

        Yes. That’s the point. You can own it if it’s your residence even if someone else lives there too.

        Also you don’t seem to comprehend the concept of bed and breakfast

          So the only apartments in this brave new world would have the landlords literally living in them with you. That doesn’t sound like an upgrade to me.

            Your grasp of the distinction between apartment and building is as abysmal as every other concept you mention.

            Also you seem to be equally ignorant of the idea of owning an apartment and of social housing.

              Ah, you are just a common troll. Got it. I was a bit tired, so I fed you after midnight. Won’t make that mistake again. Good night.
