The alternative would've been where banks don't own half of everything, but here we are. Next best thing would be that government would've kept prices in check, but instead are incentivized for prices to go up because even after it's paid off the owner is still responsible to pay property taxes. If those taxes went toward preventing homelessness, I think would make more sense.
