How is it impossible? As long as productivity remains high then it's just a matter of allocating resources (via taxes and subsidies).


It's impossible because actually removing precarity from people's existence would mean that they wouldn't need to to toil so existing capital owners could capture the value they create in return for being permitted to have a home. The implicit threat of ruin is a feature, not a bug. It's why housing must always be kept scarce.
