Not sure what you mean by your last two paragraphs???
Anyway, my personal belief is that basic necessities should not be controlled by a handful of people — whether it’s real estate, water rights, medicine, food, clean air, etc. Private property is fine, but control of finite resources leads to problems with monopolies and manipulative speculation which can cause great injury to many people who are powerless to do anything about it.
I personally prefer finite basic resources that constitute basic necessities either be owned/controlled by a democratic government or heavily regulated by the government. Yes, this includes real estate — a nation’s most precious finite resource, IMHO.
