It only took a few generations, but we've gone from America, land of the free and home of the brave, to America: we tried it once in the past and there were problems, so we should give up now and never try again.

Or maybe your solution is just bad, and that's why the market doesn't prefer it?

There are lots of places all over the US, that have some forms of public housing.

And yet most people prefer private housing.

By all means, the government should compete in the housing market like everyone else.

And then the consumer should decided.

But, my feelings are that most people are currently choosing private housing markets for a reason.
