...yeah? And you get to choose how nice that house is and where it is. You aren't "forced" to only have a small apartment...

America: land of the greedy, cold, asshole.

I think the issue is that if the government offered tiny houses or apartments for anyone that everyone would want one.

The value of "free shit" is somehow larger than the value of owning a large mansion or something.

And what's the problem? So what if a whole bunch of single people moved into tiny government houses? Housing is a human right. And it sure would bring rents down.

There is no problem, they create the problem to justify their lack of empathy.
