Something I am working thru: What if there was a way to massively overhaul section 8 so that it didn’t prop up the (broken) private market or erode tenants’ rights? Then it would just be cash for housing, which is basically an unequivocally good thing?
rereading. Im not talking about vouchers (only). I am talking about creating an entity that can acquire existing housing and convert it to public ownership as well as build new socially owned housing. and can use rental subsidies (PBS8 + HCVs) as operating subsidy.
