    Cheap social housing is harder to sell politically than allowing companies to do whatever they want with the construction of housing? Nah.

    You’re taking to a commie, the path towards change is rarely reformism. I’ll support reforms in the meanwhile, sure, but not “free market” nonsolutions. Besides, similar problems occur in Europe (where I’m from) with suburban sprawl, and there aren’t such strict zoning laws here,

      That part is fine and doable, it’s the central planning that is going to be a very hard sell. Although I’ll add that you probably want to call it “public housing” as “social housing” typically means “public-private” partnerships (but that may be a language/location difference).
