Government can build if private industry will not. If you argue "we can only fix this with the private sector and private investment", welp, we tried that and we're plain ol' fucked at the moment. Vienna is a great example. [VIDEO] (Youtube: Vienna's Radical Idea? Affordable Housing For All) [LINK] (Youtube: Does Vienna Have the World's Best Council Housing?)

Affordable Housing For All [VIDEO] About Here: The Non-capitalist Solution to the Housing Crisis (indy urban planning-types out of Vancouver, BC) [LINK]
