> Having a roof over your head and owning that roof outright are not the same thing. But they are two sides of the same coin. By the market pricing you out of being able to own your property (whether it be through foreign investment into buy-to-let, poor supply of affordable housing stock, inherited money passed down between generations further entrenching the difference between those that have and those that do not etc. etc.), people remain an asset to be sweated at the benefit of the property owners. That, as I said, is simply a regulated feudal system. |

Mass ownership only started in the 1960s/1970s. Before that most people were tenants. In the UK there were large scale council housing so people had moderate rent and security of tenure but they were still only tenants.
Again there is no human right to own property and that would not make much sense unless you want to create another scandal down the line of shoddy, worthless properties that were built in order to be affordable to people who can only afford £15,000 over 25 years...
