In Sweden it _only_ applies to first-hand contracts. So I don't think NY is a good comparison here. The main issue is that the government doesn't build enough.

The main issue is that the government doesn't build enough. There are just nowhere near enough first-hand contracts, like not even the same order of magnitude.
They've effectively abolished the system by just never building any, much like council housing in the UK.
- theonlybutlet 5y agoThinking this might have been the case... Good strategy amongst the more extreme neoliberals out there. Can see them doing it with the NHS too, play the long game, dismantle it piece by piece and then when everyone has forgotten what it once was like, the private solution becomes insatiable when compared to a disfunctional system that supposedly "never worked".
