I'm talking about publicly subsidized housing construction, along the lines of Singapore model[1].

Public housing in the US is stigmatized because there's a focus on the deliberately ghettoized, designed-to-fail low income housing that was built in the 20th century. This is held up as the definition of public housing, but there are other version of it that were and are successful.
