There’s a lot of negativity in this thread. I think people often forget that perfect is the enemy of good. Cheap housing is objectively a good thing.

    Honestly, my biggest worry/criticism is that there is no way to prevent these 99 homes from becoming 99 Airbnb's.

    Don't think there is any way for them to prevent that though.
