Public housing always interests me, because of the help it gives, the funding it needs, and the people against funding it, etc. But it's such a vague thing to me still. Can you fill me in more?
In the US, public housing is priced below market rate, and it lets people live in more convenient locations
Right.. that makes sense. Are there more specific details as to how it's funded, or how it works exactly?
These places are generally funded by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development
I see. So, what's something most people may not know about public housing?
originally, it was basically just a bunch of blocks of apartment buildings
You can get more specific than that! I think most people probably realize it had to start somewhere like that. What else can you tell me?
The idea of public housing actually began during the Industrial Revolution as a result of major urban population increases
