Giving working people money ultimately subsidizes shitty employers and landlords making it more likely that low income employed people will need to get government assistance. I’m not saying you shouldn’t do it and other things as well, but such programs have other consequences. I’m a fan of the opposite angle, using zoning laws to force the construction of large amounts of high density large apartments and then heavily taxing vacancies, think 4br 2k sq ft. (No empty buildings, no new construction made off entirely studios and 1br, ever shrinking). A glut of high rent properties to drive the prices of everything else down, and a reason for people with money not to run to the suburbs and keep income diversity in cities.
