i definitely don't day dream about an affordable housing model where a reasonable amount of money is set aside for maintenance and tenants otherwise pay an equitable fraction of the literal mortgage (or better, just the property tax). imagine if a government took over every rental, paid off the banks some fraction of the mortgage, and just charged tenants for property tax and maintenance. :mao-clap:
honestly, i don't think we should pay off the banks for the nationalization of commercial mortgages that they own. but if you don't, and you aren't doing an entire restructuring of society to boot, they'll do what they always do and tank production to starve the poors so that the line can still go up. and that would be bad probably.
They'll do it no matter what. Going after Goldman Sachs / the CEO class is basically step 1 or 2 of changing the world for the better. As it would be impossible to seize means of production.

Why even pay off banks? The fuck they do.
