It should be self-evident that a society that provides affordable housing for everyone would be safer and way more pleasant for everyone to live in. Unfortunately, the property ownership and rentier model goes back to the very beginning of civilization, and the profiteering core to the model is a foundation of capitalism. The biggest obstacle in changing this model is not Mickey Ds workers, but Banks and REITs which would see a devaluation of RE as a capital asset. Maintaining a shortage of affordable housing keeps the property values up, thus all the obstacles to building it.
