Everything You Need to Know about Government, in a Single Story-International Liberty - Dan Mitchell

I just read a story in the Washington Post that perfectly captures the inherent waste and inefficiency of the public sector.
Here are some excerpts.

• The 52-unit building under construction will house people making far below the area’s median income. 
• Half will be newly released from incarceration. 
• But the building’s development cost is enough to make the neighborhood’s wealthier residents blink: $1.2 million per apartment. 

That tab will be picked up in large part by taxpayers... 

The D.C. building, called Ontario Place, will include a rooftop aquaponics farm to produce fresh fruits and vegetables for its tenants, whose rents will be capped at well below market rates...

By the way, it isn't just just D.C. that is a cesspool of waste.
This is quite common in big cities controlled by the left. The article cites absurd projects in Chicago and San Francisco....
