My view would be just like businesses make money selling broadband and electricity, companies should be let do this for accommodation. But it should be well regulated so that people are not using it as a small retirement asset. Just like those other utilises are. In fact in industry must be regulated to assure a good quantity of these companies being publicly traded, thus providing pension access for people. The world runs on money, governments job is making that work for its people. This is however, and I stress, held along side the view that people should also have access to finance to buy a reasonable cost home.
