    We had a body like that down in Tas called “Housing Tasmania”. Then the stupid government decided to sell off most of its housing stock and now we’re left with a years long waiting list for those who need housing while they scramble to build more stock.

        They used to own and manage houses. It was focused towards providing housing for the most needy and I think it worked quite well for its stated purpose. I mean there was always a bunch of news stories about people trashing those houses but those people would’ve trashed any house they rented. At least Housing Tas had a team of maintenance personnel that could fix it back up.
