You aren't allowed you move out of a home unless someone else is moving in. We can all create a chain like hermit crabs or those organ donations to help find more completed solutions. You know, I was being facetious but this would actually be doable....
Most people buy with a mortgage, so that is functionally exactly the situation they are in. Most property transactions are part of a chain, and if any link in that chain fails, the entire thing, which can be many links long, comes to a screeching halt and possibly collapses.
I wouldn't be surprised if the USSR tried to implement something like that lol
Weβre literally doing that in capitalist countries. If I want to break my lease without finding a subletter, it would cost 10% of the median annual income.

Everyone can make house, it's actually really easy.
How?
