You’re talking like a budget that could house everyone but only in boring housing is small. But the current budget, there’s no way it can house everyone in any conditions at all. Every extra apartment we can build is another person off the street or out of the homeless shelters. That’s the scale we’re talking about here. There is no extra, there is no slack, and there’s nothing we could possibly do to stretch the budget enough to create slack. But what we can do is stretch the budget enough to give one more person a home, and I think that’s the most important thing.

I am probably talking as not an american, which is why I have a reasonable amount of trust in my government and its ability to build not shitty looking housing. They do that too sometimes, but still.
