The only way it might work is if the housing were inspected from time to time and those who dont keep it up are forced out, but of course that would violate their rights.

How many times did I see the elevators and exit stairways urinated in, the lightbulbs in the hallways stolen and used in someones apartment, the trash chutes set fire, the hallways covered in graffitti. Someone moves out of an apartment and the neighbors go in and remove the plumbing and sell the copper. I remember one project that was supposedly for old people. That didnt last long ,as soon as the old person moved in ,her daughter moved in with her and brought her little juvenile delinquents into the place with her. you can give people free housing , but if they have a record of living in squalor before they move in, they will quickly turn the new place into squalor.
