Social Housing Skeptics Are Full of It

Matt Yglesias tweeted "I don’t understand exactly what problem a public housing comeback is supposed to solve. There isn’t a shortage of private capital willing to be employed building apartments in high cost metros, there are rules prohibiting its deployment? We need public investment in zero-carbon electricity, in public health, in basic science, and so many other areas — including cash assistance to the poor — but the private sector is very capable of building more dwellings if cities want that outcome."
