    80k per person gets them a small house? It’d be more than one family to a house and for people without families it would be overcrowded atleast in my area.

      You’re assuming buying a house at consumer prices, not government prices. Government already owns a great deal of land, which is one of the most significant costs. Then it’s a matter of just building a modest home, which absolutely can be done for 80k. It would be very small by american gigantic house standards but it would be an actual house, which is infinitely better than no house
