As I've said in other places - rental properties will always be required. Not everyone is in a position where they can or should own their own home.

Public developer to the rescue.

The government should provide housing in those cases.

The government takes over the entirety of the rental market? There's over 100 million people in the United States who rent.

The government should step in when the rental market is failing to deliver for the people i.e. when rents become unaffordable due to lack of supply. They can step in with zoning law changes but they can also step in with direct competition.

Maybe works in some countries. Government housing in the US is awful.
