If state run housing was available I'd love to live there. Yes, it's possible that one implementation of this would be a two-tier housing market - that would be bad. But since I generally think that housing, being a basic human necessity, should be available to everyone - and there is no part of capitalism that protects people from homelessness in fact it's baked into the system, I think some socialism would be useful here.

It's easy to say you'd be happy to live in a housing project when there is no prospect of you living in a housing project. Meanwhile, the home values of the people advocating for "socialized row housing" continues to appreciate as they advocate against the building of new mixed-income market housing. Pretty convenient.
