Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.
Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

They did that in the Soviet Union. The government stuffed people into ugly, tiny apartments, with multiple families per apartment. I once talked to a guy whose single mom was forced to live with a violent drunk in one of those apartments. Sounds awful.
The problem with this idea is, what if the state is controlled by unsavoury people? I know that is kind of a hard thing to imagine, but just humour me and assume it’s possible.
It gives far too much power to too few people.

Well then, it already is, so we already do.
It doesn’t need to be an authoritarian government or an evil government as such.
It would just need to be a govermt that doesn’t prioritize fairness and egalitarianism above all.
If the people dishing out the housing have biases and they’re not favourable to you, you’re stuck.
At least in the existing system you have the ability to progress and determine your quality of living to some degree.
I don’t think our current system is good by the way. I just don’t think state owned housing is the right medicine. Not unless we can find a way to instate benevolent dictators.
And what happens when the state gets controlled by someone who doesn’t like what you have to say? You go homeless?
