> make affordable public housing never going to happen on a large scale.  nor should it. why should we use public money to build new housing when development companies will do it with private money? if you want more income restricted housing units, the best way to accomplish this is for you to allow market-rate housing developers build, wait for the building ages and is cheaper, then the state can buy that and rent it out at affordable rates. that's a much more efficient use of public funds, housing more people with the same amount of money. construction is expensive, its best if new housing is rented out at market rates to pay for its construction.  > corporations owning houses for renting them illegal if corporations can't rent out houses, then who is going to spend the money to build new housing? there is absolutely no reason to reject private money in building housing.
