On another forum, I was arguing with a communist/socialist. 

I have no incentive to make my property look prettier than the investor next door bc neither of us are competing for a higher price....because we can't charge one.As a Swedish socialist economist once said: "The fastest way to destroy a city is by bombing it, the second fastest way is implementing rent control"and as a communist Vietnamese economist once put it: "Where the American's failed to destroy the city of Hanoi, rent control succeeded" All that to say....If you are still living in California, please reach out to me and I'll help you move to Nashville.

Account Closed if you go to communist China or any other Asian country you will shock how much cheap (and affordable rent) the property in US of A. 

Historical examples are limited to communist/socialist countries and those are an endangered specie.

Communists and similar forms of government do not respect private property.   

It has led to the greatest seizure of wealth in human history and closely resembles the destruction of the kulaks in Russia after the Communist revolution. 

More like above us or communist mfs

Which you say shouldn't intervene in the first place or else we are suddenly all communists?

But in a communist system, the government gets it way every single time.In Singapore, the government introduced HDB flats (housing development board) for its citizens.

Hyperinflation usually occur in a country that had some type of revolution, for example, Russia after Communist revolution is 1917, Germany after end of World War I surrender, France after the French Revolution, Austria during World War I, Philippines after Japan invaded it during World War II, etc.
