Or, hear me out. Give everyone $1000 (which should scale with inflation & COL) and say "this should cover part of your rent, food, clothes, etc."
No one is asking the government to start their own free clothing production company.
As for a waiting list, not really. There are other countries where housing units are required to be non-profit and rented at cost. They also have a ~30% market share of private housing units that are for-profit. The non-profit drives the cost of for-profit housing units to be competitive and barely above cost. There are little to no waiting lists. And no the places aren't shitty.
That last argument is just fear.

Putting the labels at a 45 degree angle would be a little bit better, too.

My mom only boiled them. I never liked them until I tried them roasted
