Same way it works today. Only rather than a portion of my salary going toward rent and supporting the lifestyle of my landlord, it goes to maintenance and development, and my landlord has to find something socially productive to do to get a meal and their bmw. Let me rent an apartment from my city for a fair market rate that does not factor in the landlord living off my back. Lets go a step further. Let me buy a home without paying a banker interest. I’m a worker in the system, I am a fungible unit of labor. My home should basically be accounted for already, I should be able to move in the day I sign my job offer with no money down.

Another example of communism that isn’t some impoverished corrupt nation economically isolated from global trade through US led embargo: on base housing at your local military base.

Military on base housing has been privatized since the 90s. You are provided a housing allowance as part of your pay that is then paid to corporate landlords.

What a terrible disservice to our military personnel throwing leeches on their back.
