>Housing is guaranteed by the State for everyone and is completely free. The figure of the homeless or the "homeless" does not exist. There are no slums or slums or anyone living under a bridge like there is in capitalist countries.
>When you come of age or when you form a family through marriage, the State gives you your first home free of charge. There is no buying and selling of real estate, rentals or mortgages.
>When the State builds new homes, the oldest and in worst conditions are replaced by the recently opened ones. In this way, the old houses that once free are demolished are renovated, and the working families are transferred to better apartments.
>The housing you have assigned does not have to be for life. There is a small legalized home exchange market for residents of the same district with the help of a cash payment. Therefore, the exchange of homes is possible, but not renting or buying and selling. I put an example so that it is understood:
>Your house is valued by the state at 50,000 won (North Korean currency). And you've got your eye on a gorgeous home a few blocks from your house. After talking to its owners, you find out that your dream home is valued at 75,000 won. Since you have some money saved, you can afford to pay that 25,000 won difference. After talking with your tenants, they accept the change of ownership. You keep the 75,000 won house and the others keep your old 50,000 won house plus 25,000 won in cash that you had to give them for having a lower value house.
this only applies to card carrying party members in pyongyang outside of pyongyang the peasants live in ussr tier 1 room communal longhouses or out in the fields under plastic tarps like actual junkies. i'm not some idiot repeating western propaganda, i actually think juche is pretty based and would work fine if it wasn't done in a country that's being sanctioned by everywhere on earth AND located on toxic soil forcing it to rely entirely on trade and fishing. but for fucks sake don't go around repeating literal nork propaganda like it's the fucking truth lol

Better than believing and acting like you are told.
It's called the rule of law, while they no doubt aren't granted certain liberties it has become apparent that it's either that or post-natal abortions.

Is North Korea seriously so poor that they basically don't have cars? Why build such a wide road then?

>home exchange market same for state housing here, btw homelessness is a drug problem, mental illness clinics are a cost of housing and bad parenting / dating prospects problem.

Even in North Korea you cannot escape the dreaded Duplex
