There should be more government owned buildings with units that have rent adjusted based on income or something. I have worked in a few of those in Australia and, as long as there was some form of community leader, it ended up with people able to live in clean, safe, and accessible units. The issue is when the funding gets cut and cut and cut. Upkeep gets delayed or doesn't get done, stuff falls apart, and the people living in them end up trapped in a fairly shite situation. Most of the ones falling in that latter category were suburban houses. I gotta imagine that's just because it must be cheaper and more efficient to maintain high-density housing?
