    For many people owning their own housing is the wrong decision. That means somebody else needs to own their housing and that person may as well be you (depending of course on your situation - it isn’t for everyone)

      Yeah even in a perfect utopia not everyone would own a house. Sometimes you’re only living in a place for a short time

      So why not have it be owned by some kind of non profit organization or handle it like local utilities?

      I only mention it because a lot of what I’ve seen on the topic is people saying the point you made and nothing else. It just seems like we’ve (largely) figured out and implemented a way for the system to work in many places, but only for certain basic needs and not others.

        That doesn’t change anything useful. There are many not for profit health insurance companies in the us - they are no cheaper and don’t have better service than the for profit ones.
