The market fails to move people efficiently around a big urban clustering. Hence: Public Transport.

As it is apparent worldwide - at least in the West - the market is also failing to house people efficiently and effectively. Hence: Public Housing.

Should not cost more than one third of the resident’s liquid income.

Start with university residences - build (or convert to) new in mass.

This is rich.

The market is not failing, the govt is failing by adding onerous regulation and giving into NIMBYism.

And the solution is more govt intervention?
