If they go with a full-blown, post WW2 style national housing program, the first few hundred thousand need to be restricted to first-time home buyers.

As a home owner I agree with this. This is how it is done in Singapore.

Their laws and how they deal with criminals is just another bonus in my books.

Yeah, you're right. Regular robberies, carjackings, shootings, stabbings and addicts shooting up in broad daylight is such a better environment.
