Developers/landlords are the ones providing and maintaining housing, not tenants. The government is incapable of doing this themselves which is why it’s left to the free markets. The only real issue is that the ‘free markets’ are anything but. Governments overly try to dictate policy which continues to hurt us (a well known feature is state run economies) Examples of this are zoning restrictions (NIMBY) and rent control. Broad, idealistic government policies are a disease; they will never be as efficient as entrepreneurs.
