The kind of free market I can get behind

You aren't allowed you move out of a home unless someone else is moving in. We can all create a chain like hermit crabs or those organ donations to help find more completed solutions. You know, I was being facetious but this would actually be doable....

Most people buy with a mortgage, so that is functionally exactly the situation they are in. Most property transactions are part of a chain, and if any link in that chain fails, the entire thing, which can be many links long, comes to a screeching halt and possibly collapses.

I wouldn't be surprised if the USSR tried to implement something like that lol

We’re literally doing that in capitalist countries. If I want to break my lease without finding a subletter, it would cost 10% of the median annual income.

Maybe Marx was right?

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.

But there's a problem. Everyone can make people not not everyone can make house :(

Another reason to defend abortion access. GOP out, at every level!

(If you aren't in the US, still vote to shut conservatives out, every election. They can't be trusted, they'll steal your rights.)

I obviously do. I am very much a voter. I am not sure if this is true, but it feels like more people vote here than in the US.

We do have shamefully low turnout

Everyone can make house, it's actually really easy.
