    I agree with these issues but I think a lot of this comes from our current conception of what public housing can be. In Vienna, something like 60+% of all housing stock is public in nature. It’s not a place to stick the least fortunate among us, but the primary means of housing people. If we can make that sort of conceptual leap, it would go a long way towards solving our housing woes, I think.

      This country could be so much better. Fingers crossed that social services and housing are improved like that by the time I retire.

        Check out M. Moneybags over here, with retirement plans. Social services for retirement, hah! We get MAID and consider ourselves lucky to have it.
