State owned housing is yet another tendril the state uses to control people. When the powerful control your basic necessities like food and shelter, they basically control whether you live or die. And when they control whether you live or die, they control you completely. Not too different from capitalism, really, except the people dying are dissidents instead of the poor.
Thankfully, humans are actually quite adept at obtaining or constructing their own food and shelter. It's only the violence of the state that prevents them from doing so. Once we solve that issue there will be little to no hunger or homelessness as there are many possible solutions to these problems.
