I think that really is the ideal, for a lot of reasons. It’s better for the environment, it saves a lot of money overall, it’s better for mental and physical health, it really is the best way to go. However, I get why many people don’t like the idea of giving sometimes as much as half of their paycheck, or maybe even more, to some landlord. Luckily, there’s a solution for that, too: not-for-profit housing organizations. They’re essentially just like regular landlords, except instead of charging a market rent they just charge enough rent to cover all their costs, and that’s it.
We could also design and build building where is is possible to own a part of it. Might have to pay a monthly fee for maintaince of things like roofs, entrances or exterior walls. If it is possible to split and own row houses/townhouses, it should be possible for apartments as well.
I think that’s basically what condominiums are. I think condos could be a great option, but I don’t think they’re usually any less expensive. Of course, maybe they would become more affordable if enough of them were built.

Condos also tend to be luxury. I was basically getting at it should be possible to own apartments in the right circumstances.
