If more people brought it up to their local politicians and created a community around this idea, it would maybe happen. In my experience most people talk the talk until a “shelter” is created in their neighborhood

Even poor Communist States like 🇨🇳China & 🇷🇺Russia use Capitalism
Literally every Country in the world uses capitalism.
It’s the default trade/monetary system of Humans since cave times. Nothing else exists.
What you meant was .. under-regulated capitalism

The local mall around my hometown was renovated a few years back partially into a healthcare center for dialysis maybe or maybe PT/OT. And just last year they made affordable rentals out of the remaining chunk of mall. I think it’s stupid to waste all that useable space that needs not to be rebuilt or knocked down and landfilled because people could use affordable apartments like now
