    for everyone going “oooh but this wasn’t true in communist countries!!”

    this is basically how it works in sweden, you get an effectively free apartment if you can’t afford one on your own (you get welfare to afford the rent), you basically cannot be evicted unless you run a siren 24/7 and shit off the balcony onto people’s heads, commie block-style areas tend to have at least some green space with at least a fruit tree or two, and rent in this kind of older housing is generally so cheap that when americans learn about it they just weep.
