Not that universal housing will ever come to the USA without a bloody battle for it, but if it hypothetically did, so many homes would need to be outright demolished and rebuilt to code for people to safely live in them. My house is for sure one of them.
That's why it's all the more maddening that a home built in the 70's with asbestos and lead pipes can go for upwards to 200 grand on today's market. Normal system.

South Africa scrapped our universal RDP housing program...
Last bit of Mandela's legacy, gone :desolate:
Don't feel bad, we here in the states gutted what's was left of the new deal for neoliberalism.
Whoa, that can't be true. I heard from a chud that South Africa had done a white genocide, and is a communist paradise now. :brainworms:
Oh yeah, if you gotta deal with asbestos, lead paint and pipes you might as well start over...
