Public benefit and the profit margin are inversely correlated. The idea that you can encourage any benefit without having public competition is laughable. There is no market effect that can encourage people to care about the public benefit over profits. The key is to remove the landlord from the equation entirely and de-commodify real estate, especially residential real estate.
