Clearly, whatever we've been doing to solve the shortage of low-income housing in the US is not working. At all.
We ought to try different things, even if they ruffle a lot of feathers.

- creer 3y agoThis Padsplit thing you link to is pretty amazing, in the scale of the difference in rent, moving costs, and even property financial return. Yes, we'll have to see how long before neighborhoods try blocking them but for now that looks very interesting. (Also a lot of low-income housing is supposed to come with supervision and living or mental health assistance but obviously not everyone needs that.)
