listen. i'm not afraid to state what i think about this, and it's that every skyscraper on this continent should be taken into common ownership, administered by co-operatives of the people that live in them and operated at cost, to the point that any year-over-year surpluses should be redistributed to the tenants.

as a society, we should have absolutely no tolerance for the premise of profiteering from housing - just as we have no tolerance for profiteering from health care.

it's just not something that a market should exist in; it's something that should be seen as a right.
