What part of socialism is against personal home ownership? Cuba has one of the highest rates of home ownership in the world.
Luxury home ownership is the issue here. It's very bad optics. It looks a lot like joining the enemy, or at least giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

It's not bad optics we all deserve luxury homes luxury homes are good optics
