The problem isn’t with the amount of work they had to do to buy the housing, the problem is with the dynamics the relation between a private landlord and a tenant create.
For a landlord, the primary interest when renting a flat is obtaining profit. This immediately implies that, by default, rent caps are against the interest of landlords, creation of public affordable housing is against the interests of landlords, and laws difficulting or eliminating evictions are against the interests of landlords. All of these measures would be massively beneficial to tenants, which most working class people are, and they’re not implemented in order to maintain the profit of a select minority of owners that extract wealth monthly from them without providing any service.
Oh we will change plenty, a lot of change like this has been achieved, much more than through individualist means. China uplifted a billion+ people from poverty, the USSR 300-400 million, and plenty of land and housing collectivization was carried out. Just wait for it ;)
