I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

Imagine a world where housing was given on a per-need basis. People still need to travel for work and stay for months at a time, except it's understood that the job getting done is more important than a landlord profiting off the fact you have to travel for it.

Who maintains such supply of houses, who pays for it, who would own it, who would carry out repair works as and when they are needed.

Landlords do not build housing, nor do they do repair work. So I'm gonna say the scarry trigger word for all you libertarians out there to gasp at. Gubberment.
