Yes, in the country I live in that's much more preferable than to have an individual I can sue. Public housing was the scheme that afforded most people in this country with their first dwelling, and the government in the 1950-1960s publicly incentivised the construction of 1 million dwellings.

So yes to your question, I prefer if I have the option to rent an apartment from my government than from an individual, thank you very much.
