#1 ...Can't fight a war, tanking the economy, so let's build 100K houses for 'low-and middle-income' buyers and non-profits.

Which, by the time they're finished will be substandard, poorly adapted for real people/families, and cost $750,000 each.*

*In CA, they'll cost $2.5M each.

#3 Public housing in the US is a disaster right now. Why will these be any different? Shouldn't they clean up the mess they have now before enlarging it?

#6 to bolster supply that is often snapped up by deep-pocketed investors.
These won't be affordable once they are built by government, and will also be snapped up by investment companies at distress sale prices.

#9 It will be all about where they are built and what types of "dwellers" they contain.

#11 Some folks just need to get up and get going. Reminds me of the old Russian acronym YCGADSOYA. I think the 'YC' makes a guttural 'Yhu' sound.
