“Garvey’s World Homes was eventually driven out of the countries in which it operated by rising anti-Americanism, and the realization by politicians that their purposes would be better served if they were seen as the source of housing for the poor—not some greedy apitalist developer. Similarly, politicians promoting ‘affordable housing’ mandates today disregard the actual record of such legislation and tout themselves as saviors for housing shortages increasingly of their own creation. The simplest way to improve access to affordable housing is to let builders add to the supply of housing, regardless of the price they hope to charge.”
