it isn’t their’s.
There in lies the problem . We have a segment of the population which keeps taking and wants more without ever thinking that others pay for what they demand .
One of the more creative ideas I’ve heard in regard to public housing is to privatize it. Simply give the tenants deeds to their units and call them condos. The owners can buy and sell at market prices. They are responsible for those things typically assumed by condo owner and the management company is responsible for those things typically assumed by condo management companies. The federal government would auction off each development to interested parties. The level of maintenance would be determined by the condo fees and basically limited to leaky roofs, common plumbing, mowing and landscaping of common areas.
