Nah, using tax dollars to increase property values in a housing crisis is counterproductive as fuck. It increases rents for everyone else as well. Better off attacking it from the supply side with a massive subsidized housing effort and just tanking the market. But that’s politically toxic.
It’s more pointless than bad, I would think.

The problem is that almost everyone would be better off if the housing market tanked. Except donors.
