I mean, to some extent, what you're saying is, "Cities require apartments to be better than prison cells, and it's hard to make massive profits making genuinely livable housing that can be provided to people who don't make much money."

Which...yeah, the purpose of low-income housing should be to provide housing that people can still thrive in, no matter their income, not to make massive profits for the real estate or construction companies.

The cities themselves should be footing the bill to make sure their people are well-cared-for. It's already been proven in multiple instances to cost less than dealing with homelessness and its consequences, even if the people they're providing housing for can't pay a single cent (at first).
