Affordable Housing: Fighting Inequality Through PowerBall

It should be called “DisempowermentBall”

Every election cycle now one sees initiatives, bonds, etc. for “affordable housing”. The government is in the business of providing affordable housing. They can’t promise enough of it.

And we see how well the previous affordable housing initiatives have worked out for society. We have housing developments in our major metropolitan areas which are hotbeds of dysfunction and crime.

Government providing housing is simply wrong and reeks of a complete failure – it’s a fundamental failure of the system of supply-and-demand that governs capitalism at its core.
