I've had similar thoughts, there was an overbuilding of these sorts of apartments in the 60's and 70's which resulted in inner city ghetto's though.
- epistasis 6y agoI've read lots of problems with the US's past public housing programs, but I've never once heard somebody say that they were overbuilt. The problems were poor construction, lack of maintenance, poor citing away from any sort of economic opportunity, and perhaps most of all racial segregation. Any sort of modern effort would have to mirror Singapore or Vienna, where the housing is for people of all incomes, and wealthy people's rent cross subsidized lower incomes, and everybody lives together.
