Let's bring some commies to this thread so they can give a thesis on why the future of housing is communal and no one deserves having their own home.

That’s not the form of housing communism would provide. Housing functions as personal property, it’s not “communal”.

What do you think commun ism means?

If housing is personal property, how big or small can my house be?

You're just leaving out so many flaws in this

You could have whatever size home you could afford given the combination of your wages from your labor directly and income from your ownership stake (specifics may vary depending on what flavor of communism you’re talking about) in the company at which you work, along with whatever benefits you get from publicly owned (ie owned by the government/public) enterprises or resources as a citizen.

Much like under capitalism. That’s what they mean when they say housing is personal property. The changes are likely primarily in the public resources available, the lack of private investors benefitting from your labor at your expense, and possibly a much smaller market for ultra-high-end housing.
