    Except there’s no reason it needs to be.

    Sure. We could setup regulations, have inspectors, an oversight board, a series of escilating fines, and both local and federal authorities ensuring that each other is don’t the right thing. We would get mostly decent housing. Sounds expensive.

    What happens when you need a bigger place, or don’t need as much? Want to get away from a loud neighbor, or closer to work? Sounds like forms and approvals. Time off work for meeting with authorities.

    Current housing programs have huge waiting lists, and are different for different cities/counties/states. I am sure it works well for some people that made it through the paperwork and line.

    All of that send worse than giving people money.
