It’s hardly artificial if it’s working on an important piece of work the private sector would never be able to fulfil. Improving the housing stock has a collective common good in energy efficiency and additionally social and health benefits.

Of course nobody wants to pay for it, which is fine, but at least admit that’s grounded in pure ideology. Not whether it’s a good investment by the state or not.
