Hundreds to thousands of buildings over seventy years is a "singular success?"

I personally know dozens of people who grew up in Mitchell-Lama housing. Tens to hundreds of thousands of people still do.

But because other implementations are less successful (which is debatable, especially as you've provided zero examples), we should scrap successful ones?

Or am I missing your point? Please do elucidate.

Edit: It occurs to me that you're likely ignorant (especially given your response) of Mitchell-Lama programs. As such, I encourage you to educate yourself and to advocate for similar programs, as they create stable housing and promote community for many people -- and unless you live in a large urban area, it provides that for more folks than live in your entire county.

Mitchell–Lama Housing Program Is specifically NOT public housing and you are calling me ignorant. JFC dude it’s a great private sector tax abatement program but this is a comment about Cabrini Green type projects.

I never said it was public housing. And it's not just a tax abatement program.

You go ahead and keep moving the goalposts, friend. You can do that all by yourself. kthxbai!

Are you confused it’s literally what the thread is about. Jeeze dude.
