Anarchists are anti-rent too. See this user's comment. Anti-rent and anti-property has been a staple of anarchist philosophy since Proudhon.

Really, any socialist worth their salt should be anti-rent.

I think number of home units should be strictly limited

We need way more home units, all of them free.

Anarchists by bare definition are not anti-anything except permanent rules and laws. Banning rentals would make you a tyrant and Anarchists would hang you for that.

We should have free home options, and also more psychiatric facilities like before Reagan gutted them, to reduce homelessness down to only those who chose to be it.

But we should also have the option to commission, build, and rent nice homes so that people are not tied down to a property for our entire life.

Anarchists all agree that anyone else who claims to be an anarchist isn't an anarchist.

That's about the only consistent think I've ever heard about Anarchists.

Which is why they overlap with Punks a lot. Punks favorite think to do is talk about how punk they are and how other punks aren't punk.

Both things aren't an ideology over a political movement. They are vanity label that stands for nothing other than being 'against' things.

and we all can agree that Tankies are complete nutjobs.

Like yeah there's lots of disagreement within the anarchist movement (which is a sign of a healthy critical space!) but all anarchists agree in broad strokes that hierarchical authority is not good and for this reason that the state, capitalism, and property must be abolished, like this is the minimum ticket price to be an anarchist and has been since Proudhon.
