decommodify housing already. wtf is wrong with people.
...How does that work? Who pays for the lumber, cement, electrical, plumbing, etc?
the US had a fairly successful public housing program until the 1980s when it was defunded then the coffin was nailed shut with the faircloth amendment passed in the 1990s.
What's the faircloth amendment?
It bars the government from increasing the amount of public housing anywhere beyond 1999 levels.
