Description[?]:
| "I think we are all aware of the predominant issue of homelessness. We all bemoan it, but now there is a solution to better it. This bill will establish the government as what it should be, the vanguard, the protector of the people. People who cannot afford housing nevertheless need housing, and I believe it is the responsibility of the government to attempt to provide some comfort to those unable to give comfort to themselves. Make the right decision, thank you for your time." -Daniel V. Feterokov, in the proposition speech to the National Directory |

| Message | If we want to support low income families, we can subside their rent, but I don't think we should build staterun housings. |

| Message | We of the Revolutionary Socialists honestly never expected this bill to pass. We proposed it on principle, and to get our position out to the voters. After it fails we'll propose a more moderate bill. |
