Which cities are building houses? Traditionally, owners of private property do that. Chicago once built housing. It became so crime infested they had to tear it all down.

Cities often have policies that prevent private developers from building more housing.

Owners of private property want to build housing, but cities create laws that prevent anything from being built.

I'm not familiar with the event you are talking about, could you provide a little more context? Purely for my own edification.

I am not sure which housing they are referring to, but I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cabrini%E2%80%93Green_Homes.

That looks like a match, thank you!

Wow, looks like it was a pretty complicated situation. I don't think OPs reference to it made any sense. Might make sense for a checklist of what not to do with regards to public housing.
