Had a nice chat with Peter Marcuse last night, and he posed an interesting question: why do Americans support Medicaid but don’t currently appear to have a strong desire for something like “Housingaid”?

But maybe the actual implication of the comparison with Medicaid is that a universal housing safety net (in whatever form--and the form it would take is definitely important) is in fact a popular demand just waiting to be made
I mean the closest universal housing program we have is the mortgage interest tax dedication and it’s a bad one

Good point--things can be both universal and bad, or universal and good...
-
Right it’s not universal if the cost to entry is a house you can buy lol
