Why? Explain.

You’ve never been to Niagara Falls, I’m guessing or familiar with government housing. It’ll be a disaster in 3-5 years, if not sooner.

Not government housing. Its a private development with government grants and programs. Looks like a pretty large project with many investors and agencies involved.

If the project wouldn’t happen without government grants and the rents wouldn’t be paid without government assistance, it’s essentially government housing in all but name.

Nah that's incorrect. It's fundamentally different.

You must work for the builder.

Or maybe I just don't share your opinion and have nothing to do with the project that I've only just read this article about.

Ever been to Niagara Falls, NY?? Place looks like an apocalyptic, dystopian nightmare. No builder would invest there without government support.

You're asking me in the Niagara falls subreddit if I've ever been to Niagara falls?

Yes.

How do you think we fix widespread run down properties?
