Lured to Disaster

What, then, is the "problem" that politicians claim to be solving when they talk about creating "affordable housing"?

What they are saying and doing usually boils down to trying to enable people to choose what housing they want first-- and then have some law or policy where somebody else, somewhere else, somehow or other, makes that housing "affordable" for them.

If you think it through, that is a policy for disaster.

But politicians don't want you to think through their policies, do they? Thomas Sowell has thought through the "affordable housing" policy which wreaked so much havoc.
