Governments building residential units is our only viable path to affordable housing. Builders can’t be incentivized enough to make it worth their while vs premium builds

Affordable groceries my also require a government-run chain to bring food prices into a reasonable range again

Tax incentives for co-ops, housing and food, may be viable alternatives. But I’m not exactly sure what their success conditions look like.

You and I have different definitions of viable.

Unless the government starts seizing property they will run out of money long before they can house a meaningful number of people in useful locations.
