Same way we already collect resources for roads, infrastructure, and government buildings:
we build housing anyways.
You think the White House was built for free?
By the way if you are in the US the allocation if resources for infrastructure like roads is already misallocated as fuck, if you live in an urban city center you are subsidizing the road infrastructure for the suburbanites, so that you can enjoy their smog being blown in your face as they commute to the city center from their cosy single family houses.
Look up strongtowns, they did plenty of studies showing this effect across various huge US cities.
The nice thing about capitalism is that it kind of solves allocation of resources without having a central control that’s prone to abuse and mismanagement.
You can’t afford to live where you want because it’s a popular place, you have to go elsewhere, and companies will build houses there because there is demand.
Now there are a few issues ofc like private companies being allowed to own housing, which needs to be banned. The other one being the over regulation and single family house zoning that has racist origins in the Us and absolutely fucked shit up, another reason why government regulation is bad and can be abused.
I live in a “commie block” in Europe that was planned so that everything is in walking distance, so not all government control is bad, but I believe this can be achieved without having to have tight control over what is built where, with more control over public transit.
i say let the market solve the housing problem, and let cities/towns provide affordable housing locally for the community.
In my city we have a homeless shelter for people who need housing in rough times, we have social housing that’s more long term and stable and costs like 30 euros a month for an apartment and we also recently opened rent-controlled flats that are owned by the city and are rented out at cost.
And this is in a central european country with nowhere near the resources and richness of the US…
I am not so sure what I read. Is this an argument for corporate/fascist controlled housing abuses, or that of the collective?
I say this because both 🇺🇲 & 🇯🇵 no longer have a “market,” but a monopsony.
I plan to emigrate to Europe in hopes to bring more black anarchist thought and free housing until none are unhoused.
You can indeed. The State of California may not like it, and even deathcamp you, but that’s what “no borders” means in anarchism. Californians have yet to form anarchist solidarity.
Who will decide
The unhoused.
OT, Are you lost or something? Do you not read theory?
I didn’t stutter.

Maintenance, same way.

Both 🇺🇲 & 🇯🇵 outright genocide the unhoused.
Okay, can I just take my European ass and move into a malibu beach house for free then?
Who will decide who gets the free house where?
