      the government would also have to pay for it. That means rising taxes

      Not necessarily. The government literally prints the money with which workers can be paid, there’s no need to increase taxes to pay for such housing. Modern monetary theory is cool!

      But at the moment, we are quite far from that. I’d already be pretty happy if the government would stop selling their governmental buildings

      Yes, we’re far, but that doesn’t make reformist measures more likely, they’re impossible to carry out without huge worker organizing through unions and socialist parties.
