Should we build more public housing? ft. Paul Williams

Left-leaning housing activists often discuss public housing as a solution to the housing shortage, but is this a good idea? Jeremiah and public housing advocate Paul Williams debate the role public housing should play in our response to the housing crisis.  Does public housing have advantages over private housing? Is public housing usually lower quality than market-rate housing, and if so who's to blame? Can we build public housing in a cost-effective way? Are subsidies for private housing preferable if we want to help low income people? We discuss all this and more!
