Bear in mind that the community would render aid to anyone who needs assistance in maintaining their own properties as well. It would be mutual aid. For the 'cost' of perhaps choosing to maintain a temporarily empty property, you would never need to 'purchase' a new roof, heater, or repairs for your own home. The community would help you the same way you helped them.
You're also ignoring my mention of the benefit that this mutual aid would enable others to travel to maintained community housing anywhere in the world for free.
I think you're putting a bit too much weight into the idea that the only thing keeping most housing stock in good condition is that financial barrier. I think most people would want to keep their home in good condition without financial pressures forcing them to keep it nice. If everyone let their home go into disrepair, then there would be no 'good' homes to jump to. It's in the interests of everyone to maintain good housing stock, so that if you ever did move you wouldn't only have shitholes to choose from.
I'm not saying in this new way of society that everything will just become magically perfect, but I very much doubt it would be an epidemic on the scale you're thinking of. Even in your example of garbage filled cars, you don't find half the parking lot like that, only one at most. Just because a handful of people might not take care of their home doesn't mean it wasn't worth it to stop millions of people worldwide from suffering and dying on the streets, throwing themselves under busses due to hopelessness.
There are millions of dilapidated homes that are owned by the people who live in them. There are thousands upon thousands of rental properties that landlords will let become unlivable and condemned. Owning a property or even having consequences does not stop that from happening.
There is nothing stopping a community from continuing to enforce those laws if they desire.
"It's easier to imagine an end to the world, than to the end of capitalism."
I'd suggest looking at some more in-depth analysis instead of dismissing the concept off hand from a short comment.
