Funny, I don't know anyone who thinks that. In fact I hear the opposite- that because it is so important we don't want to turn it over to the govt. Most of the apartment complexes I would live in are nicer than government housing, notwithstanding the evil profit motives of those nasty REITs. Now it is possible to get people a decent place to stay on public money though section 8 allowances, but those allowances rely on a private marketplace to actually provide the housing.
