If you take the national out of nationalisation that is an improvement. Then shove a "personal" in and we're at a good spot.

We want more people to have control over their own home, not less. I'm accepting of the fact that I live in someone else's house and it isn't my choice if I'm here in 12 months - but it is hardly an ideal state of being.

And pretending national politics isn't a big driver of what happens locally is a bit naive. Sticking to the US, the federal government is 20% of the economy. Most other first world countries are probably similar ballpark. That has a huge influence on everyone.
