If you had a socialist utopia with no private housing, you'd still sometimes have a situation where the number of households wanting to somewhere exceeds the number of homes there and some people say "we should build more homes" and others say locals should be allowed to veto. — PolitiTweet.org

Some people would say "well, the extra housing can just go on greenfields way out of town" and other people would say "well, there's plenty of housing over in some other city entirely." But there'd be a school calling for more housing specifically where people want to live. — PolitiTweet.org
