    I should have prefaced, as a socialist I think we should build more PUBLIC housing. That would address the problem more quickly and directly.

    However…

    landlords will charge whatever they “can” which is based off other available houses.

    Part of the reason they can charge so much is they don’t have much competition, any open space is going to have a lot of people competing for it so you can Jack up prices, somebody will probably be able to pay. If there was more selection people could go for cheaper options and landlords wouldn’t be able to ask exorbitant prices for subpar properties.

        Yeah part of the reason the Karl Marx Hof worked is because private landlords now had to compete with this really nice, affordable, housing bloc. You can’t charge exorbitant rents if your tenants have a decent affordable option on the plate.
