The latest Four Corners investigation is a damning indictment of how we're "solving" the housing crisis. We're handing public money, planning concessions, and loans to private developers—and in return, renters are getting "affordable" housing that often isn't affordable at all.
This isn't a market failure; it's a policy failure by design. When you outsource public good to profit-driven developers with zero accountability, this is the predictable result. We need genuine public housing, not corporate welfare dressed up as a solution.
