I have one "weird" and "radical" proposal: public housing to rent. Not to but. At affordable price. That would lower the price of every house, flat, ...
In the SF Bay Area, it costs over $1 million just to build one "affordable" housing unit.
It's sold at that price. I'm sure it doesn't cost that much.

That same article says it clear: the lion's share is the taxes part, not the house. If there was a public program, the taxes should be far lower. After all, that project wouldn't be a for profit one.
No it doesn’t say that at all.
Good thing the fucking country is bigger than the SF bay area then, isn't it?
Those who live in apartments, and only they, should collectively and equitably own the building entirely.
Put the squeeze on the landlord and then collectively make a low-ball offer.
