Anyone can afford means zero, FWIW. Many people that are homeless aren’t broke, but most are. There have been experiment with public housing over the years all over the world and in the US. The anyone can afford was achieved by pegging rent in the federal programs at 25% of income. The problem is “any luxuries” boils down to safe, maintained properties not riddled with crime. To get economies of scale they were built as large projects which essentially created high density zones of inescapable poverty. They were / are extremely unpopular with literally everyone, especially the people that live there. Unfortunately the alternatives don’t scale well in the US given all the exact same reasons that cause housing to be so expensive in the first place. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_housing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_housing
