what do you mean by this exactly? "commodity" usually means a fungible good (ie, one where individual units are interchangeable), which housing is certainly not (if you think it is, I have an old trailer that I would gladly trade you for your house). are you saying literally all housing should be free?
- Pfhreak 6y agoHousing should be priced by how effectively it houses people. The idea that housing is a market good that people can use as an investment vehicle undermines the actual value of having places for everyone to live at an affordable rate. I believe everyone should have access to free housing should they require it, but that's different than housing should be free.
