We also destroyed public housing by failing to fund it (and make it desirable to people who could afford to live elsewhere). Now we just rent the space from private companies that proceed to skim off large chunks of cash, all while selling the now really valuable land under old housing projects to fund such short term logic. Why the government would ever 'rent' something like housing is beyond me. Not only that, but we have millions of churches sitting around getting tax breaks for their "community contributions" while locking their doors 5 days a week so that taxpayers are building homeless shelters to keep the bums from stinking up the pews.
