Apartments are only a “great answer” to the rent-seeking pieces of shit that seek to greenwash hyperconsumption. They want you to own nothing, always be teetering on the edge of getting evicted, and pay rent to their landlord class indefinitely because “it’s better for the environment”.
Know what else is good for the environment? Turning the BlackRock C-suite (and anyone that profits from hoarding land) into mulch.
I’m sorry, why are we operating under the assumption that apartments=rentals? It’s not a given at all, even taking into consideration that there is quite a lot of systems where you are not renting from private landlords but from the city/cooperative
I’ve always heard that apartments are what you rent, and condos are what you buy. Besides, if the Republicans are on board, it’s because they see a path to fleece the little guy out of even more money.
Nah, apartments are supposed to be great. For one you can buy and own apartments.
Renting is supposed to be a viable alternative to houses. The tradeoff is supposed to be slightly more expensive, but no worries about any kind of maintenance, and higher flexibility about moving.
The reason this whole equation is so fucked is because we don’t have enough apartments (really all housing) to house everyone where they want to live, so purchasing or renting housing is obscenely expensive.

I just got educated that it’s cultural differences - it’s perfectly normal to own an apartment where I come from (Poland)

And the main problem stems from zoning
Tenet owned housing cooperatives are a way to have apartments without rent-seeking.
