Here’s an idea that will blow your mind. Give money to people who can’t afford rent instead, or even better spend money to build affordable housing. US is such a deranged society.
The US does that through Section 8 housing vouchers. Various entities also build affordable housing, though that has a fraught history because it tends to concentrate poverty.
Concentration of poverty isn’t a product of affordable housing. And the context for the discussion is that a county is giving money to landlords which doesn’t directly translate into people being housed, instead of giving money to people who can’t afford rent. If you can’t understand why that’s backwards what else is there to say.
