They could have easily solved that by pegging unit ownership to income.

Or, better yet, we could just build more units.

Or both. There is no reason to offer discounts to wealthy people just because they’re first in line.

Im sure they also thought the lack of poor people owning houses was “easily solved” by banning landlords.

But how does pegging the unit ownership to income even work?

Very simply- you have to be under a certain income threshold to qualify for these homes. The same way it’s done for lower-income housing everywhere else.

Where does this happen? I was under the impression that low income housing was owned by the state, or maybe someone else but under strict control by the state, and you had to fall under a certain income to rent there, not purchase.
