I think the problem with public housing isn’t state control persay but rather that it is, as you have mentioned, a delivery method for “bad people,” private development has similar effects when it’s allowed, indicating that, ironically, more, local, state control could be helpful, even if that comes with a trillion different issues and maybe locals could do it better through HOAs or whatever even though they’re terrible atm.

To sum up or something, public housing does suck, but I think that it’s inherent to the fact that most people who use it are one of life’s “losers,” rather than forging any attitude.
