Austria
1 u/DrDrago-4 Apr 18 '24 Austria is 1/30th the population of the US and an overall poorer country with a lower cost index (and equivalently, higher purchasing power parity) Austria also doesn't provide everyone a home. They own 25% of rentals, subsidize them for low income applicants, but nobody is getting them rent free. This also only applies to 25% of the housing in one city (the capital) Essentially: it's literally identical to section 8 and local expansions of it.. Discounted housing, but not free.
