<p>I'm looking for a meta - analysis / review discussing the question if public housing has a net benefit to the public.</p>
<p>EDIT: To be more specific I follow the definition used in the United States where public housing is classified either as housing projects that are owned by a city's Housing authority or federally subsidized public housing operated through a federal authority.</p>

what exact public housing scheme you are interested in? There is extremely large heterogeneity in how public housing is executed in different countries. Unless you are bit more specific what type of policy called public housing you are interested in this is too broad

I'm looking for a meta - analysis / review discussing the question if public housing has a net benefit to the public.

EDIT: To be more specific I follow the definition used in the United States where public housing is classified either as housing projects that are owned by a city's Housing authority or federally subsidized public housing operated through a federal authority.
