> If your point is that a subsidy will shift demand and increase the price, that is exactly what we want! A price signal to the market to build more housing to accommodate everyone who wants to live there including displaced communities! As long as that same government is using law (ie. violence) to prevent building more housing, no amount of subsidies can be effective. What do you intend landlords do? Hire an army to defend cheap housing from the government?
