Comparing developed nations to America is kinda unfair, but ok :) My point was that just because somebody is a landlord it's not the root of all evil. (I'm not one).

Governments can and do create programs to support families (too bad for singles in my country) but at the end getting all this for free is probably a utopia.

Affordable home ownership exists everywhere, but nobody wants to move to most of those places, people need more than a roof above their heads, but that comes at a cost.
