vienna did it at the local level, not the national level. so that's one way you're wrong.

and did i ever say anything against private investment into real estate? no. this black and white thinking is part of the problem.

> I also think that the kind of housing that results from Communism isn't very desirable.

what is undesirable about cheap housing with good urban planning on a decentralized, local level like they did in vienna?

That’s what I was responding to. I see now that this isn’t your opinion.

you're right, i see how my response could be interpreted as "remove all real estate as an investment". sorry to respond in a knee jerk!
