Private property abuses the rights of personal property. It's my home, yet someone else "owns" it.

Landlords barely contribute maintenance when required. Might as well hire a handy person to be intermediary to any professionals 🤷

There is a reason why economists call the act of syphoning value from the economy without producing anything rent-seeking behaviour. Allowing private interests to profit from basic human needs is a very inefficient way to fulfil those needs on a population level, and in many cases promotes the forming of dynasties, and the concentration of wealth.

There are few sensible reasons for a society to allow ownership of living space far beyond what the owners can use themselves.
