If state run housing was available I'd love to live there. Yes, it's possible that one implementation of this would be a two-tier housing market - that would be bad. But since I generally think that housing, being a basic human necessity, should be available to everyone - and there is no part of capitalism that protects people from homelessness in fact it's baked into the system, I think some socialism would be useful here.

Meanwhile, the home values of the people advocating for "socialized row housing" continues to appreciate as they advocate against the building of new mixed-income market housing. Pretty convenient.
