American housing is in crisis. With more luxury housing being built every day while huge numbers of people are stuck with substandard homes or none at all, the U.S. model for housing has proven to be a catastrophe. Zohran Mamdani, New York State assemblyman, talks about how Austrian socialists in the 1920s and ‘30s pioneered an approach that offered better, cheaper, and safer homes for everyone.

I wish him success!
Denmark has a housing problem as well, actually for the last 60 years, but because there are too few apartments.
I don’t think there is 100% state owned social housing here. It is organized in so called non-profit housing associations that build houses with especially cheap loans, which then are financed by the rents that people pay. As the loans are being paid off, the rents get lower, and the money can be used for improvements, which are decided by the tenants in assemblies.

In the U.K. there are so called council houses, aren’t there? Those are state owned, I presume?
