I'm hardly an expert in economics, but if the government spends say £50k on land/materials/labour and builds a house worth £100k, doesn't it then have £50k more on it's books even if the house/asset is never sold, and it will then get rental income on top ... so isn't this just cost positive (as well as all the value to the economy of employing the workers) ?
