People always push the argument into extreme but for practical example you have housing around industrial zones going 250% up and being turned into gated communities and factories cant move because of nearby high way and harbor.

So it is not socialism but common sense to call for residency zoning area reserved for workers.

In tourist zones this is normal: from Alps to Mediterranean. But if you mention big cities suddenly nobody ever heard of workers working there only landlords and retail shops.

And I am not talking across the street where you work I am talking 1h commute area around industrial zone rejecting cheap apartments and building gated communities where one foreign firm can buy all 128 houses at once.

If we can talk against concert ticket/ps5/3070ti scalping and overcharging we can talk about housing without being mocked at and called greedy lazy socialist. I just dont wanna live in a shoe box or be 3h in traffic every day.

I do not believe my desire, having been born in a $5million house, and wanting to also live in an equivalent house is at all extreme. It is no differnt to being born in the bronx and wanting to live in the bronx or the projects and feeling entitled to also be given project housing.

I was able to buy a ps4 on release for $399.99. How is it fair that they want $499 for a ps5. Is this really equivalent?
