There are apartments, townhomes, duplexes, condos, single family homes, bungalows, and maybe more I am forgetting. Pretty easy to look up if you actually tried. For MDUs, condo associations do that all the time, and even though I hate them, HOAs serve the same person for single family units. Again, all easily searched if you took the time to. This could be transitory to simply providing housing through HUD.
Here's a list of countries that have nationalized businesses, usually relating to critical infrastructure. Which housing would fall under. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_nationalizations_by_country
Not that insane, just disingenuous of you to say that. Plenty of countries here that I would live in. Japan, Netherlands, New Zealand, Finland, Canada, UK, Indonesia - all have nationalized businesses within recent/modern history and businesses haven't fled those countries en masse.
Forbes is not a good source. Lol
That's not an issue of enough housing for people to live in. Desirability is a separate issue tackled through improving the local economy, job offerings, amenities, etc.
How would I lower the prices? If you listened earlier I mentioned increasing the availability of housing vouchers and also lowering the requirements for eligibility.
It doesn't feel like people read what I say so I think I will end the conversation here. Take care.
