>We see what happens both in libertarian hellscapes like the US as well as authoritarian trashterrain like China or Russia. Poor people and communities get fucked over in both of these extremes.

All three of those countries have heavily regulated housing markets. The US is no more libertarian than Germany, for that matter.
