Government can build if private industry will not. If you argue "we can only fix this with the private sector and private investment", welp, we tried that and we're plain ol' fucked at the moment.

Vienna is a great example.

I thought we also tried government housing and got "the projects" instead.

Define we. My example shows government housing can be done. Swap out people and policy if needed. "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -- Einstein

Having grown up in the projects, they were a million times better than tent cities.
