If housing is too expensive for most people, is the government supposed to do anything?

The government DOES do something.
They have housing projects.
Then, they tell Mom that she can't get it for free unless Dad moves out.
Thereby continuing the destruction of the American family.
These projects are typically in crappy areas.

Moral of the story - stay in school, get a good job.

@Budwick Walter Williams posed four rules to never be poor.
1) finish high school, at least
2) get and hold a job
3) do not reproduce outside of marriage
4) avoid alcohol and drugs.

That’s not how to get rich but it is how to avoid being poor.

@redredred I've heard that before.
Great advice!
