I didn’t say guettos are worse than what we have now. I said that surely we know how to build social housing without creating guettos in the first place, which is the typical NIMBY knee jerk reaction to their construction.

None of this is because of lack of knowledge or resources. Things are exactly the way that makes the most money for entrenched capital, and that’s no accident.
