Yes, there are certainly a lot of unsolved problems in communal ownership. I'm optimistic that solutions are out there.
>If communal ownership were a viable option, we should see the number of TICs increasing.
I don't understand how that follows. All that indicates is that some particular operating structures (the specific TICs in place in SF) are not viable on one specific market (SF) in one particular moment in history.
I was just suggesting that in theory communal ownership could solve the problem. How to actually get that to work, in practice, is a problem that entrepreneurs have been working on for decades, and it will take many decades more.
