Austria doesn't have a coordinated federal housing policy either, it's mostly just Vienna that aggressively builds city- or NPO-owned housing (and even there it's "only" about 40-45%¹). And one important aspect of Vienna's housing policy is that these housing units are generally fairly nice, and offered to everyone at cheap prices, to avoid ghettoisation and have upper middle class families with doctorates live next door to long-term unemployed. I'm not sure how well that'd go with American sensibilities. ¹: https://www.iba-wien.at/iba-wien/iba-wien/soziale-wohnungspolitik https://www.iba-wien.at/iba-wien/iba-wien/soziale-wohnungspo...
