So you wish to and can afford to buy a home right now? Are there even enough homes? If not, where will you live? How will such housing be provided for you and what will you offer in exchange?

Personally I'd like to see housing provided as a basic human right along with health care, income and a few other things but I'm guessing that's not happening any time soon. Interested to hear what you think of how this will work.

"The United States boasts approximately 15.1 million vacant homes, a staggering number that accounts for 10.5% of the country's total housing inventory."

There are enough homes for everyone

I'll get the trains ready to forcibly move the unhoused to where to where an empty house is...you wanna start rounding them up, or are you still busy finding them a job they're able to do so a bank will let them buy one of those houses?

Edit: the situation isn't as simple as you'd like it to be. If it were, it'd been solved already.
