Housing policy is already being forced upon you in the US. Today, we call it zoning, along with various governmental services and political boundaries for them. On the less obvious level, it's also taxes, exemptions, and infrastructure such as bridges and roads. As Kim-Mai Cutler has been recording over the past 2-3 years, housing policy today is, in part, the result of explicit choices for low-density suburbs.

So while you have a point from a purely anarchist point of view (and that's not a slur on you, ok? anarchists have a great critique of existing systems), that ship has sailed so long ago in the first world that I don't think there's any meaningful point in trying to recall it.
