Well, I support (1) vastly increased public expenditures towards housing and (2) smart use of regs to incentivize construction of affordable housing in urban core. I think we need to tilt effective property rights over land towards working class folk.

The historical failure of collective farming, and the wild success of small-plot independent farming after land reform, along with America's own experience with social housing, make me think (by analogy) that housing redistribution would be better than social housing.

Collective farming was a disaster. Public housing is alive and well in many countries (Sweden). However, I didn't necessarily mean publicly owned housing. I said public expenditures toward housing (i.e, construction of affordable units, subsidies, etc.)
