It’s funny, the majority of people’s net worths aren’t liquid. Can’t just redistribute them

I mean, communism is just when the workers own the means of production, but OK

Yes you can… you distribute a claim to a portion of the underlying cash flows. Apple, the company, isn’t liquid. But when I buy a share I buy a portion of the underlying cash flows. Same goes for real estate, or anything else really.

We can’t just give people even amounts of real estate. Not how it works. Secondary loan market would get nuked for one, and what are we supposed to do force people out of their homes? Everyone owns a portion of a farm field? Literally would never work in a million years

Only way it could possibly work is if the government owned literally everything. No private property. And I don’t trust the government to do much hbu

I don’t think real estate needs to be completely evenly distributed, and no, a house that someone lives in doesn’t need to be repossessed. What I have an issue with is the house-hoarding that landlords, and increasingly nowadays, corporations engage in. The housing market is fucked because it’s all “market rate” and BlackRock can put more money on the table for the seller of some starter home than an actual family can.

If you wanna live in the house you own, great, do it. That’s what they’re for. If you’re a corporation that owns thousands of homes all over the country and is driving up the market rate to ridiculous and unprecedented levels, then yeah we should take away those thousands of homes and sell them at a price that an actual family can buy them for.

Ah, another person who doesn’t know about the personal/private distinction as it applies to property.

Yeah I agree that companies should stay out of the single family home business or there should at least be a cap on it.

So tell me the difference between personal and private property, if you know it. And tell me how me being against real estate speculation somehow puts me at odds with the notion of personal homeownership.

Personal property is movable, not attached to the land. Real property is land and its appurtenances that run with the land; things that cannot be removed easily. Private property has nothing to do with personal or real property in this context as it is owned by private individuals/entities
