How would you move? Need to time the buying and selling just right?

Surely in the 21st century we can engineer a system in which the moving party is allowed a time period to settle in and sell the old property. We must have the technology and manpower to do this meagre task.

Just have a government agency be a middle man.

Oh so the government can own residential housing! Theres no way that could possibly go wrong

Too bad. You need a centralized authority to manage territory and governments already do this for land, so they can combine land and the real estate on it and distribute it to people fairly.

If you think it's problematic, then you need to take better control of your government.

It's either that or corporations who don't care hog all of the land and housing.

Sure I will just go ahead and take control of my government, great suggestion.

I don't see the issue with that, unironically
