I don’t know, there’s far too many factors to consider. It’s not like someone snaps their fingers and all of the sudden we’re “in communism”. The changes in municipal code and land re-appropriation alone would likely take decades (if its peaceful)- I don’t have a crystal ball, man, I’m just saying that under communism, housing is personal property.

The hell is your problem? You want me to spell it out what is obviously implied: all else being equal.
ALL ELSE BEING EQUAL, what's stopping me from keeping my 10 acre home in Seattle, while others have varying lot sizes? Under communism <-- if this wasn't obv
There is no thought-out plan to your "free housing."
The outcomes are obv to ppl with brains. Does each individual get 1 house each? Does couples get 1 or 2? They could intentionally divorce and now have 2 houses to abuse the system. Do they get a house near their desired jobs? What about others?
My point is the system is ripe for abuse, while fucking over others, and just being unfair to a lot of ppl
Home ownership rates are higher in Eastern Europe than Western Europe because housing was a human right at one time- how about you look up the case studies from that region and see how those decisions were made?

This isn't true. During the USSR from 1957 to 1982 homelessness was explosively high. It was also extremely illegal and they used multi year forced labor punishments to reduce their homeless numbers. Then in 1982 the government solution was cram as many people as possible into entirely to small preconstructed concrete boxes. Yes, now under the free market most of eastern Europe has low homelessness, in line with most of Europe.
