    He’s right and these policies are shown to work in other places too. Reduce artificial scarcity and related stress and people do better. I hope Dems pass major bills even if orange vetoes them and they can’t get a supermajority, they must try. If only everyone understood how well healthy policies work where they are, even public housing can work when done right, but when it’s sabotaged and underfunded by maga, and done wrong it fails.

    Q: If we want public housing to be a successful investment—where units stay in good shape, tenants thrive, and taxpayer dollars are respected—what are the three most critical policies we should implement to prevent the failures of the past (like Pruitt-Igoe) and replicate the successes of places like Vienna or Singapore?
