That’s a really interesting article, thanks for posting. Unfortunately, reality is a flat out b****, and most of the social science and housing so-called “experts” haven’t figured that out.
I am sharply reminded of Thomas Sowell’s book The Vision of the Anointed: Self-Congratulation as a Basis for Social Policy

The book is 20 years old and still very, very applicable. And he calls this sort of thing over and over.
Also, see my previous post on Section 8. My FIL is a smart man.
