    Tell me Mr. Social Justice Warrior: who will accept to rent properties if they can’t profit from doing it even a little bit? Do you think I’m Mother Theresa and I want to put my appartment up for rent at cost?

    Maybe you want the state to build and own real estate, and rent it at cost for great social justice. It is an option for sure. Just be aware that you’ll pay for it in your taxes, and not a little bit.

    Also, it’s been tried before in a small country called the USSR, and if I recall, it didn’t end too well.

      LOL at these children. I don’t have to imagine what state housing looks like, seen it. We should take all these whiners and throw 'em in a brutalist, Soviet, concrete cube and they won’t have anything to complain about!

      These guys remind me of Lee Harvey Oswald. Staunch communist and activist, went to the Soviet Union, got his ass handed to him, utter failure, came back to Texas with his tail between his legs, continued whining about how awful America was. But hey, he brought home a hot wife!

      I already know how this conversation plays.

      “It doesn’t have to be like that!”

      “No, it doesn’t. But it will be.
