Housing affordability _is_ a displacement-prevention measure.

> building houses

These are not houses, they lack basic plumbing, kitchen, food refrigeration, etc.

> as proven by the fact that they are choosing to live there.

Most literally were unable to afford other forms of housing, especially the elderly living on social security. Calling this a choice is intellectually dishonest.
