Wait a second, why there is "0% ownership" in DPRK? It even has a note: "The data was obtained from official papers in 2014 stated that all housings and residential properties were owned by the socialist government. Ownership of the houses is illegal under the law and will be sentenced to hard labor. Despite the claims, several defectors reported that there are several residents managed to own their homes in North Korea as these homes are purchased through black market is increasing as of 2014."
The source is a news article, which isn't the most reliable source...
you walk into a back alley and talk to some shady guy wearing a big trenchcoat, who swings it open to reveal a pack of shingles or a door frame or bag of concrete which you buy from him for 3 packs of cigarettes. repeat several hundred times until you've acquired enough building materials to build a black market house
Something seems lacking with that claim. Ownership is dependent on recognition and protection of a legal system. How exactly do you manage to own a house then when the state explicitly bans you from owning it?
To me this "home ownership" seems more like someone managed to bribe officials to have a specific apartment assigned.
idk if its illegal or how the ownership model works, but the vast majority of standing buildings in the DPRK were levelled by the american invasion, so it stands to reason that almost every house was built / rebuilt by the government. so this might have been through a public housing model.

How does someone read that and not yell "get the fuck out of here" at their screen? A black market for houses? How the fuck is that supposed to work?

anarcho-capitalists find a way :brace-cowboy:
yeah, there's no real way to own a house outside the law. What would that even mean?
