Question about the Housing Market.

I know I’m in the minority on this, but I do believe that sometimes the Private Sector cannot do what it promises. Competition breeds Quality and lower prices, but how do you build a competing Airport in a specific town? If a natural resource only has one location, you can’t build a second one nearby. For this reason, sometimes with limited options, the Public must be made to own these limited resources. It can be Managed by a private company, but it is forever owned by the Public Trust of all Citizens.

My question is this. Is housing a private venture, beholden to nobody but the owner? Or do Renters and Tenants deserve a say in how they live? I don’t know the answer, but I would love some feedback.
