I disagree with you about public housing. There is a legitimate need for it, and it works. But like all good things, the leftists have perverted the idea.
Public housing worked when it was transition housing for low income families. It stopped working when the Liberals decided to build housing dedicated to single mothers, many of whom were practically children themselves, and bar working men from living there.
It isn’t public housing that failed; it’s replacing fathers with gov’t that did.
I agree that there is a need for temporary housing for the indigent.
The problem was that the folks running the public housing programs didn't seem to agree with us.
