“It doesn’t work” because profits. If you are in socialized housing there is no need for profit. It’s also kinda absurd to think that, were rent fixed, that there would not be a sea change in how housing and regulations surrounding housing works. It’s myopic to simply say “fixed rent costs = landlords stopping maintaining property” or some such. It would have to be comprehensive, not a sudden, poorly thought out decree like trump would do.
There’s always a need for profit, otherwise you end up with Chinese ghost cities with millions of empty and rotting homes. They will also become a huge environmental catastrophe there quite soon.
Christ dude don’t be so damn binary. Both your comments are. There is nobody saying everyone will or must live in socialized housing in this hypothetical.

Imagine there’s no possessions… I wonder if you can…
Yeah, I don’t want to live in a stone age.
Another binary choice someone is inventing. Nobody said it all had to be socialized.
A world in which we all live in project housing is a dark one indeed

Then why bring it up? We’re talking about a system of private housing with a profit incentive
