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?

All section 8 should be Project based section 8 with mission driven ownership and permanent affordability

i think i am over "mission driven," tbh! "mission driven" is not actual public accountability. and missions...drift!

Well maybe that’s a bad term then. The operators of the project based section 8 housing should be accountable to the public sector, which should pay very close attention

or they could *actually be* the public sector in a more structural way than they are right now - municipal trust owns the land / bdgs - contracts to whoever (NFP?) to manage hsg - strong tenant unions / local elections --> public control / democracy over assets
