Why shouldn't the State simply own all housing and provide it as a utility to the community

none of that shit is needed all we need to build more and zoomies should start a new settlements like it's been done before

Here ya go Bruce

What happens if you build a house on your property does it automatically become the governments?
What if all the houses available suck? What do you do then?

why this hate for landlords? just dont be a rentcuck, buy your fuckin space, own it. and when you move on enjoy the landlords bidding over their head to get your property.

What is functionally gained by having a landlord class act as middle-men.

Wealth is created, which can be taxed and redistributed accordingly. Also, people should be able to own second+ homes. You're not a commie, are you?

Wealth is created

in what way is wealth created by landlords that wouldn't also be created if the homes were govt-owned

This could work as help for the extremely poor, but most people would like to be able to choose where and how they live, which would be impossible if housing was "provided". I think a tax on renting or a catastral tax or whatever it's called in english, where every property you own after the first one gets taxed harder and harder would work, since it would make owning property just to rent it out unprofitable, and thus free up the property market, lowering the demand and thus the prices for people wanting to buy their first property.

"the state" owns a lot of housing here (specifically housing foundations which are their own entity and manage their portfolios with legal obligation to rent them to poorfags) and they do it just like you'd expect.
1) all housing given to refugees and single moms with niglet children
2) they employ like 5 communication consultants for every handyman tasked with maintenance
3) office is open for roughly 4 hours per year
4) massive salaries at the top - supposedly social organisations
5) not actually government so they get to do whatever they want in the end

Same reason people hate musquitos. Just ignore them or enjoy watching them fight over your blood.

By having a private housing market, you attract investments either from abroad or you incentivize your compatriots to invest their money in real estate instead of sitting on it while it devalues and wealth is lost.

everyone want to live in the city
stupid people that is but its a different topic.
populations grow, immigration happends, but the city doesnt grow, its a heavy increase in demand but the supply remain the same... you cant get better control og supply and demand than a free market.

Needs 2 BBCs in all holes at the same time

investments either from abroad

well done, your country is now owned by chinese billionaires who dictate rent to you instead

incentivize your compatriots to invest their money in real estate

doesn't happen. supply drives down demand and thereby lowers rent, so landlords are incentivised to do the exact opposite and limit housing developments

By having a private housing market, you attract investments either from abroad

This is not wealth creation, this is wealth transfer

you incentivize your compatriots to invest their money in real estate instead of sitting on it while it devalues and wealth is lost.

This is not wealth creation either, is wealth transfer from liquid currency to a finite resource that will appreciate because its supply is fixed while the demand increases.

In my hometown village of 2k people the average home is up for sale for about 1 hour before biddings close again due to popular demand.

you people are not ready to have a house of their own, my country gave houses at very low prices and sometimes for free for people trying to correct that mistake and they resold those parcels, built shit that fell over them and killed them or just left it to increase in price and return in 20 years and still came to our buildings to rent and live here.
some people are not born to own land it seems, they are incredibly bad at it, even if it's given for free by the goverment.

who would profit from it

They get to flaunt their big gdp for doing absolutely nothing, gdp to a country is what stock market value is to a corporations the line must go up at all cost because its considered magical for some reason
instead of commie blocks you get landlords stealing thousands of dollars every month for ranting 100+ years old shit shacks

landlords are incentivised to do the exact opposite and limit housing developments

Easily solved by having a transversal and numerous landlord class that fills all the niches and has a hard time artificially setting the supply between themselves, additionally to legal punishment for such tactics.
Well, if you want to get technical, no, it's not wealth creation, but in any case, it means economical growth as oposed to stagnation, and let's not forget the most lucrative sector developed nations make use of, the financial, is all about wealth transfer, and ultimately the growth it generates allows for wealth creation down the line.

I want to lick her asshole and her pussy. Anyway, here in Italy we used to have something like what you said. They're called "case popolari", houses made by the state for those who needed it after some disaster or something.

apartmennts here go crazy on biddings, rural houses are up for sale for months, no bids.

I completely agree with you, for the simple reason that the rules of competition don't really work in the real estate market

people should be able to own second+ homes

Why?

Because, one should be rewarded for their hard work.

Why shouldn't the State simply own all housing and provide it as a utility to the community

Well we found a middle ground.
All rent is government capped and controlled.
No filthy rich landlords here, just immensely large housing companies that own thousands of apartments and buildings that they rent out under the Swedish regulations and rent laws.
Tenants here hold the power over the landlords in a way. They cannot kick anyone out (unless you break the law/rules multiple times and it's confirmed in court) and cannot raise rent, only follow the governments rules.

Which is why I can rent my centrally located 2 room, 51m2 apartment for €581/month with heated parking and gigabit fiber included instead of paying a fortune.

Reward me for my hard work by sucking my penis

non sequitur

The problem is that money is a terrible representation of "hard work"

Can't suffer in sweden

How? You work hard, you buy a second home for the luxury of having a refuge elsewhere, in a place of your liking that you just can't afford to have permanent residence in due to key services/ work proximity reasons.

You can. It comes with a downside in shape of a housing queue. Daily points system for rentals, depending on the neighborhood/area/city it can be anything from a few weeks to several years.

That's reasonable i suppose, in any case some people owning one or two additional homes is not a very big deal
In reality though this has been taken to its logical extreme and now you have a well-organized rent-seeking class who cooperate to maintain and expand control of the housing supply at the expense of a prole class

Nonsense!

Securing an apartment as a EU resident in Nederland is almost impossible, be it private or state owned one.
Only to discover that in the next street there are Ukrainians living in social housing, driving Porsche Cayenne who don't have to pay any rent apart a symbolic amount.

I am deeply concerned about the state of Western Europe

Tenants here hold the power over the landlords in a way

look the rent cap and eviction control are really good but don't delude yourself the landlords are a parasite class that inherit great wealth and never work. trump is an example of this kind of deadshit. they are problem narcisscists, convinced they're special or even royalty. they're human garbage and we should fucking end them all

sounds like sweden at least has the lube
