Frankly housing should be a right and everyone should have the same space for the same sized families and you can move as your family changes into different sized units.

Absolutely. The way housing is treated as a financial investment vehicle instead of a basic human right is disgusting. Unless it turns a profit, there are no incentives to build social housing in this system. Or to build larger units, if instead you can build and sell more smaller ones.

The law of rent dictates the price of a house, there is no equitable way to give people housing. Its naive to think that there is, some problems are extremely complex and take much more nuance related to second order effects.

I don't block, but just know I am never going to have an actual conversation with you so I would suggest you quit wasting your time and mine spouting nonsense.
