So incentivizing the private sector to build unprofitable housing for a basic, social need is the same as building an arena used for cultural purposes and disposal income?

I get it that on its face it is hypocritical. But one is a basic need that goes unfilfilled and isn't viable as a project without government incentive.

The other is simply corporate welfare pitting one tax jurisdiction against another.
