Well given that state and federal governments would rather build houses to sell on the open market. And avoid actually owning housing to house their underprivileged population. It’s no wonder this is the outcome.

Governments are there to support the population of their respective communities. When they only support sections of that community. They are, by definition, failing to uphold their fundamental role.

What this country needs is a fuck load of government owned housing. Until that happens. Nothing will change.
