If you take this argument (socialism) to the extreme, grocery stores shouldn’t profit either. Only the workers that produce the thing can profit off of it. I’m not sure of the logistics of that, I guess the government has to own the stores?
Tell me Mr. Social Justice Warrior: who will accept to rent properties if they can’t profit from doing it even a little bit? Do you think I’m Mother Theresa and I want to put my appartment up for rent at cost?
Maybe you want the state to build and own real estate, and rent it at cost for great social justice. It is an option for sure. Just be aware that you’ll pay for it in your taxes, and not a little bit.
Also, it’s been tried before in a small country called the USSR, and if I recall, it didn’t end too well.
