The landlords would be happy with the subsidy, but it doesn't do much for the renter (except encourage them to move where the cash gets more). I guess the subsidized housing could drive out the would be gentrifiers, but then everybody's worse off.

I didn't mean to give them the money to pay higher rent. I meant to give them the money to own the homes. The previous landlords will receive on compensation as we transition away from landlording.
