That's why I pointed to "mass housing at the cost of construction." $120k is the realm of minimums for SFH. For a bare necessities 432 Park Avenue[0], we should be able to do 3,000 residences within 85 stories of 800 sqft. apartments, at 50k per, amortized over 30 years and even cheaper after they're used. The Soviet Union couldn't give their people a lot but they could at least make some housing. 432 Park Ave's current prices are due to luxury amenities, Manhattan land, and inadequate housing supply.
