I wouldn't oversimplify socialism. Everything I've seen suggests that it doesn't scale up like you'd think. It can be done at scale, but it doesn't seem to work out as $x per citizen no matter how many citizens you have.
Also cost of housing is complicated too, being as what happens with that is that it's about how many people want to live somewhere more than anything.
You're an oil and natural gas producer. This makes fuel cheap, but at the cost of what is likely to be some rather big problems over the next 30 to 40 years. There are other countries--I believe Norway is one--that are able to pull socialism-like policies off because of oil, and it will be interesting as in interesting times over the next while, being as oil is now at a place where it is going to become fundamentally devalued.
I think the U.S. could use some socialistic policies, but just, it's not so simple as waving a magic wand and saying hey U.S. get your shit together and decide you want it. Deciding we wanted it as a country would go a good way toward it, but not as far as it needs to.
