Commie towers are terrible, BUT in theory, with government assisted funding, could really solve the housing crisis. Lets just pretend the government cared, and put tons of resources into funding (construction, land purchases). While ugly, the units would help. I'm sure the private sector would gladly build such units too, pending zoning modifications which give them the room to build 1000's of them.

But with all the units, comes transit woes. A constant battle. The housing crisis in many city's can be solved, but the will is not there nor is the appetite to stomach such change (especially aesthetically).

If we had more government investment in our cities, they would be much better off. If we had the same level of funding as lets say the military (U.S.), we'd have a lot more toys to play with in our cities.
