I'm still in favour of social housing along with private ownership. Ie, I think any neighbourhood within municipal limits should be a mix of privately owned and publicly owned housing, with publicly owned housing being made available to anyone who is homeless on a sliding scale - if you actually can afford rent, you pay some, if you can't, you don't. At least in this country, I'd read that we had more homes standing empty than homeless families to fill them, so it seems pretty stupid that we instead allow more than half a million Americans to have to stay on the streets while so many houses sit empty.
