He’s an incredibly smart guy (Cambridge Uni) pretending to be stupid, which lulls guests into a false comfort zone, then he unloads a killer, often existential question, again phrased as if the daft lad. It’s kinda what he did with Borat and others, but when this lot was filmed nobody knew who he was. Genius.
For real. As Borat, he pretends to be racist, that hates the Jews(even though Sacha is Jewish) and tricks these people. Makes their true racist selves raise to the surface to come out. As Bruno he goes to southern states and kisses another man. Their h phobic selves come out. Genius indeed.
Sacha (as Ali G) was a regular on The 11 O’Clock Show in the late 90s. A very young Ricky Gervais also got his break on that show. Because no one knew who Ali G was, he was getting interviews with UK politicians, academics and celebrities who all took themselves way too seriously and didn’t get the joke. He then had his own show called Da Ali G Show (also featuring an early Borat) which you might be able to find clips for. He caught the attention of Madonna and was in her video for “Music”. And the rest is history. Great reaction - I haven’t seen some of those clips in a long time 😊
I fucking love Sacha, the bloke is extremely intelligent. He went to Christ's College which is a college of the University of Cambridge, one of the best in the world. He's incredibly talented, you should definitely watch other stuff of his. I remember watching these with my brother back in early 2000, we laughed up lungs then and I still do now. They never get old.
The funny thing is, his character is from Staines which is a fairly middle class area, to which he refers as the ghetto. A typical posh white youth identifying as a black South London street kid.
i went to University with his cousin, Ashley. he studied experimental psychology. i think what Sacha did was PURE experimental psychology, at it's finest
Ali G was his breakthrough character on British tv. He became more or less an overnight sensation. He was everywhere for few years. He had to take the character to America because all the British politicians, scientists, academics and experts knew who he was... :) Bruno was his next big character, before Borat.
I'll recommend it AGAIN just as a reminder Ali G "vets versus veterinarians", AGAIN Ali G "vets versus veterinarians" AGAIN Ali G "vets versus veterinarians" 😁😁😁
Remember watching these in Scotland waaay back and it was groundbreaking man 😂. Was also around the time I remember seeing Ricky Gervais just starting out in comedy on tv. Good times man.
😅 Strap yourselves in fella's and check out more Ali G. Personal favourite moment for me was when he was discussing world war 2 with a retired serious American general and "Ali" asks him "So what side were you on ? " 🤣
What you've got to know and realise is that Sasha Baron Cohan is playing a character when he's Ali G,he PLAYS dumb to relax his interviewee and makes them THINK he's stupid.
Oh my good god you've finally got round to some Ali G he's fecking hilarious, next it's gotta be Ali G "vets versus veterinarians" my god the poor American guy Ali interviews ends up a broken man,he's more traumatized by his meeting with Ali than his years in the US army and the years spent in Vietnam,it's just one of many extremely funny things Ali G has done,another good un since you've heard of Borat is "throw the Jew down the well",it's made even funnier because Sasha Baron Cohan is Jewish.
I second this, the vet segment was beyond hilarious and probably my favourite Ali G clip of all time. It's a good 10 minutes long, too - you have to take it all in from start to finish to afully appreciate the comedic genius.
I remember Ali G well when he first emerged. There was nothing else like him, the writing and the character was completely unique..Great to see you guys enjoying this
I think his genius lies in keeping a straight face when he’s doing these interviews! There’s no way I could! Check out his full interviews and another character he plays called Bruno. Watching these clips again literally had me crying with laughter 😂👍 I’m guessing you’ve not seen his other films - Bruno, or The Dictator?!!! Maybe something to watch in your spare time!
His genius traits are getting absolute be11 ends to out themselves. He doesn't put words in their mouth, he let's them tie the noose, put it round their necks and watch them jump 🤣 'Who is America' is prime for that stuff
One of Sachas later characters was Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion model, this character pushes the boundary to the extreme to the point where his life is in danger, you should definitely react to Bruno clips, I'd like to recommend "Bruno in the middle east" or "Bruno goes camping"
YES 👍 I've been hoping for you to step into the Sacha B C, "rabbit hole", for ages! If you haven't already seen it the Borat with Rudy Giuliani is hilarious. Love your channel.😊
Bear in mind when you watch the police training that when he talks to the people lay on the floor who got "jumped", theyre supposed to be actors as they are part of the training course. Some people mistake this and think the bad acting means the show is staged.
I think you guys should check out Sacha Baron Cohen's series Who Is America? because that upset a LOT of people in high standing in America - mainly politicians, the NRA, and many, many more! If you like this kind of stuff my dudes, I would recommend checking out one of the most controversial comedies of the 90s, and probably of all time.... Brass Eye. You won't find anything else quite like that!
Man, I came here from doing Father Ted with you guys, I remember Ali G first being on TV and I've seen the sketches a hundred times. And even so, the second he opens with "what about the lap dancers" I lost my shit completely. Ali G is superb and Sasha Cohen is a legend.
My god I remember watching that episode when he said what has the youth in Asia got to do with it . Must of been well over 20 years ago drinking and smoking hash with my friends. Non stop laughing . Also I remember been off my face on ecstasy when the drugs episode aired 😆. What great times back then 🙃
You guys have made me laugh so hard with the Ali G shows. His earlier interviews were in the UK before heading over to America where he wasn't known as much. You two should check out Ali G interviewing Posh & Beckham. It's for compic relief and it will definitely put you in stitches. So much so, I'm going to search and watch it again.
Daniel is spot on, Sacha Baron Cohen is probably smarter than every one of the people he interviewed but they are to full of self importance that they can't realise that they are being pranked. The guy is a genius, it can't be easy to keep a straight face when everyone else get's the joke except the interviewee.
That was a trip down memory lane lol, and a good laugh. If you can find full episodes it it worth it. I also HIGHLY recommend you check out a programme called Brass Eye. Similar era, absolutely fucking genius
Guys Alex Baron Cohen is a British comedian, actor, writer & very popular entertainer. The comedy is the old fogeys taking him seriously, glad you enjoy him.
That was a great reaction fellas! Brought back great memories, laughed my arse off! Ali G asking why the coal miners were all bruvvers was a top episode too, as was the Posh and Becks one!
Comedy gold right here! One of the few things me and my brother both loved at the same time besides our 11 year age gap.... so so soooo funny...one of my faves is when he used to sing/rap at the end find him and jarvis cocker "help the aged" makes me cry still to this day! Another fave memory was when he interviewed a police officer who brought with him a selection of weapons seized from crimes....basically "what you aren't allowed" moment...he grabbed the weapons and asked how the best way was to use them haha the officer looked so worried and uncomfortable it was brilliant!
Guys we need the full episodes of the Ali G Show. Not seen any reaction channel react to full episodes so far and even if only on Patreon it would make an epic choice aside from the standard Gervais and Pilkington content (which I love btw). Pretty sure I have the DVD's somewhere if you are struggling, and would be happy to send them over Speaking of Ricky Gervais, please react to Extras and the UK Office too
For 2 lads who supposedly read the comments, I don't know why Spencer still thinks Council estates are the equivalent of trailer parks? Considering the last time he said that, not to long ago, there were loads of us in the comments explaining the 2 are nowhere near similar. Council estates are just areas where normal homes (made with brick & mortar) are for rent from a local council. What we call trailer parks, are caravan parks. The biggest majority of Brits live in council estates, we don't live in trailers.
I remember it well. It was autumn/early winter of 1998 when Ali G forst hit UK TV screens as part of The 11 O'Clock show. It was SBC's first character - way before Borat and all the others. He was an instant smash sensation. An assassin. He's a super intelligent guy playing a super dumb guy with not one single fuck given. All ad lib and thinking 'on his feet'. True comedy genius. Would have us open mouthed before screaming and then crying with laughter. Peeps would get too offended these days, more's the pity.
He is probably one of the greatest comedy geniuses of this centurary. You might be surprised by the number of well known hollywood stars who were in the Ali G show like Martin Freeman.
It's the deliberate misunderstanding or the getting people in power to look stupid by their trying to be trendy is his genius, some of his speeches as himself are very powerful
Great video guys ,Ali G ,Borat,and Bruno are great characters ,when they speak or interview people it brings out the worst intolerance of people that’s different from themselves,Sacha Baron Cohen is a bloody genius and has a canny ability to smoke them out to to bring the worst out of them 🤣🤣
Guys you have to!! Watch Ali G In Da House. It's his film and till today it's one of the funniest, if not the funniest films I've ever watched. I never got into Borat coz I missed him as Ali G so much
Do you want Ali G recommendations or Sacha Baron Cohen recommendations that you might not be familiar with? It's so unfortunate that the Ali G character became so well known that he had to change characters in order to do what he does best. If you haven't already done so you should check out "this is America" which was made and released in the USA. He's done a few movies and a few shows that were released in the US. You won't be able to do it on your channel but you should check out the movie The Dictator, which to my knowledge is his only fully scripted movie.
You should watch some vids of Norman Gunston (the little Aussie bleeder). Gunston was a character created by Gary MacDonald who would do celebrity interviews, stay in character throughout and adlib depending on the reactions. Televised a few decades earlier than Ali G. Interviewed Sally Struthers, Mohamed Ali, Paul McCartney, Frank Zappa and the like. Basically any foreign celeb that came to Australia and would be unaware that he was a character and not for real.
ali g is such an old character and the ali G movie and show i think is also older than Bo selecta which i think was in or around 2002. The ali G movie is really good too. there's also shows like rita sue and bob too and kevin and perry go large you'll love.
You need to react to him interviewing David and Victoria Beckham LOL Sasha started on the 11 ‘0 clock Show in the 90’s. Ali G character was based on typical white boys... who were/acted “street” in certain areas, the place Staines, where the character’s supposed to be from (in Greater London, usually not from the inner cities) was one of these towns. They acted a little bit gangster (but they weren’t) into tracksuits and gold chains, into drum n bass/jungle music. Who enjoyed smoking weed and usually drove Ford escorts suped up with big bass speakers, in their car (vibrating with bass as they drove past) Back in the 90’s I believe Sasha called them white boys acting Black but that might not be very PC to say that now lol. Nobody cared about that back in the day, everyone despite their colour thought the character was hilarious. I’m sure everyone who was into the early to late 90’s rave culture met an Ali G 😂 I met many, ESPECIALLY from Staines lmao... It was perfect timing, for this character!
I can't believe you thought he was dumb - THAT IS THE ACT!! He very carefully set up all the word misunderstandings and the misdirection. He's a genius.
Gotta check you on 17:24 The Show's Premise is to TROLL people, the experts are not supposed to find it funny. If they start suspecting it is trolling they will either leave or play along and it stop being funny or Ali G persona stops being effective. The floater bit gives you a great example of how Ali G digs in to his persona and never breaks, to a point where the poor professor genuinely believes it's serious and Ali G is not happy with him.
Guys you must react to WHO IS AMERICA? Its produced by Sascha Baron Cohen(with a Hand full characters that he move in, and all the ppl who he will met for a Interview are high ranked politic,Sheriff, trump&friends ppl, and the special one is with OJ Simpson) & SHOWTIME.
As commented below Ali G is a Genius, and Graduate of Cambridge University. His ability to dumb down to pander to these intelligent minds is amazing to watch. All of the characters he does and any question he asks is addressing an issue or an injustice which he is well read in, be it racism, feminism, antisemitism or any other ism.
You should watch him interview Posh (Posh Spice) and Becks (David Beckham) it's super funny. Ali-G wasn't a journalist to start with he was just a character but when he went to the US he used Ali-G to interview people and no one knew it was a character it was long before Borat. When Ali G met the Beckhams | Comic Relief - RUclips they did it for comic relief watch it
9:10 You need to see Brasseye - Drugs episode, .......they parody DARE in that (BrassEye = very edgy late 90's parody news show, hilarious, brilliant writing, very on the edge, was critically loved and also hated, the show generated more complaints and also more letters of approval from the general public, than any other show in uk history)
You should just watch the full clips from these scenes, there are no best bits - it's all great :) Ali G started on the 11 O'Clock Show (same as Ricky Gervais), he was "the voice of the youth" and went around interviewing people with the angle that they were getting a youth perspective on various topics. He had to change character when Ali G got too famous and people started knowing who he was.. (much like Borat's problem now)
@@skolex33 He got him on camera doing a bit. That is exactly what Ali G did. So he did get him, even if Trump wasn't exactly buying the old ice-cream glove idea... lol
One note,our council estates vary depending on the location/estate, but they're like a mix of trailer parks/hoods/projects, they're jus "low cost" government housing
He’s an incredibly smart guy (Cambridge Uni) pretending to be stupid, which lulls guests into a false comfort zone, then he unloads a killer, often existential question, again phrased as if the daft lad. It’s kinda what he did with Borat and others, but when this lot was filmed nobody knew who he was. Genius.

He’s a raving Zionist
Daft lad, dad left a lift ad. I read wrong.

Ali-G was the ONLY reason we got out of bed on a Sunday - the rest of the show was a bit shit.
Although - that said, I did first see Bill Bailey on that show too.
Is you Madonna ?
Why do I not remember that? I'm officially fucking old
i knew thats where SBC got his break but I didn't know gervais was on it too?
How he managed to keep a straight face during these interviews I’ll never know...Pure Genius!!
I think sometimes he just had to say something out loud to hold it in :)...
And then go back in it. Damn. I miss Ali G :)
He did laugh a few times in some clips they showed here, he has gotten better at that tho 🤣
I fucking love Sacha, the bloke is extremely intelligent. He went to Christ's College which is a college of the University of Cambridge, one of the best in the world. He's incredibly talented, you should definitely watch other stuff of his. I remember watching these with my brother back in early 2000, we laughed up lungs then and I still do now.

i started typing the same replay seen yours deleted my comment and just liked your post xD
He went and did a speech at an American graduation ceremony. That was hilarious, its on RUclips too
Sacha's original and best creation. I don't think Ali G will ever be topped as a satirical character - the whole act is just genius
The funny thing is, his character is from Staines which is a fairly middle class area, to which he refers as the ghetto. A typical posh white youth identifying as a black South London street kid.
i went to University with his cousin, Ashley. he studied experimental psychology. i think what Sacha did was PURE experimental psychology, at it's finest

He had to take the character to America because all the British politicians, scientists, academics and experts knew who he was... :) Bruno was his next big character, before Borat.
P.S. if you want to do more Ali G, you *HAVE* to do his interview with David + Victoria Beckham, the whole thing is comedy gold!
I'll recommend it AGAIN just as a reminder Ali G "vets versus veterinarians", AGAIN Ali G "vets versus veterinarians" AGAIN Ali G "vets versus veterinarians" 😁😁😁
Ah Ali-G the character that caused the town of Staines change its name to Staines-Upon-Thames in a doomed effort to disassociate itself with him 😆
Staines is still a complete hole tho, no matter what you call it! I only ever go for the cheap cinema lol 😆
Big up the staines massive! Or massive stains
big brown stains
Quality correct as to why staines changed its name
Remember watching these in Scotland waaay back and it was groundbreaking man 😂. Was also around the time I remember seeing Ricky Gervais just starting out in comedy on tv. Good times man.

Yo, fo' real
Big up to the Massive!
Booyakahsha!
Easy now!
If the full episodes are on YT I'm sure the duo will react to them. Are they?
One of Sachas later characters was Bruno, a gay Austrian fashion model, this character pushes the boundary to the extreme to the point where his life is in danger, you should definitely react to Bruno clips, I'd like to recommend "Bruno in the middle east" or "Bruno goes camping"
he used to host his tv shows acting as Ali G, Borat, Bruno etc before the movies!
YES 👍 I've been hoping for you to step into the Sacha B C, "rabbit hole", for ages! If you haven't already seen it the Borat with Rudy Giuliani is hilarious. Love your channel.😊
ali g interviewing the beckams on comic is one of the funniest things and well worth a watch
Bear in mind when you watch the police training that when he talks to the people lay on the floor who got "jumped", theyre supposed to be actors as they are part of the training course. Some people mistake this and think the bad acting means the show is staged.
I think you guys should check out Sacha Baron Cohen's series Who Is America? because that upset a LOT of people in high standing in America - mainly politicians, the NRA, and many, many more!
If you like this kind of stuff my dudes, I would recommend checking out one of the most controversial comedies of the 90s, and probably of all time.... Brass Eye. You won't find anything else quite like that!
Ali and the Beckham's a total must.
one of his latest series was targeting American culture. Well worth watching
he went to a rodeo or ball game or something and messed up the American Anthem , The crowd didn't like it
Man, I came here from doing Father Ted with you guys, I remember Ali G first being on TV and I've seen the sketches a hundred times. And even so, the second he opens with "what about the lap dancers" I lost my shit completely. Ali G is superb and Sasha Cohen is a legend.

Everyone is a stretch. But most people for sure. I would be very surprised if Cohen had the Academic potential/IQ of Noam Chomsky.
The full Drugs segment is hilarious as the expert gradually gets frustrated with Ali G and suddenly snaps. You really need to watch that in full
The dictator - nuclear Nadal scene 😁👍
That was a trip down memory lane lol, and a good laugh. If you can find full episodes it it worth it.
I also HIGHLY recommend you check out a programme called Brass Eye. Similar era, absolutely fucking genius
Ricky Gervais got his first TV break on the same show as Ali G - The 11 O’clock show. This had me howling! Keep up the great work guy’s!
Definitely need to check out more of his stuff, not just these clips
Guys Alex Baron Cohen is a British comedian, actor, writer & very popular entertainer. The comedy is the old fogeys taking him seriously, glad you enjoy him.
His early characters were all journos. Ali G was presented to his dupes as a youth culture journo, Bruno as a fashion journo, etc.
That was a great reaction fellas! Brought back great memories, laughed my arse off! Ali G asking why the coal miners were all bruvvers was a top episode too, as was the Posh and Becks one!
Ali G interviewing an orange order guy in Northern Ireland is top notch. His reaction to the guys pope joke is an all time classic
Oh god I’d forgotten how funny Ali G was, and the fact the interviewees all thought he was a real person just made it so much funnier.

He is probably one of the greatest comedy geniuses of this centurary. You might be surprised by the number of well known hollywood stars who were in the Ali G show like Martin Freeman.
Another series no one seems to have picked up on is Stella Street. Its fecking awesome
It's the deliberate misunderstanding or the getting people in power to look stupid by their trying to be trendy is his genius, some of his speeches as himself are very powerful
There's so much Ali G content you can watch. A true genius creation.
Great video guys ,Ali G ,Borat,and Bruno are great characters ,when they speak or interview people it brings out the worst intolerance of people that’s different from themselves,Sacha Baron Cohen is a bloody genius and has a canny ability to smoke them out to to bring the worst out of them 🤣🤣
Hilarious, great to see him again - now for more on youtube!
I like how Daniel said "yeah, mate" completely naturally.
Edit: Also I'm so glad he owned Kent Hovind. What a spectacular idiot Hovind is.
Loved it when he started ripping on Kent Hovind! 😂😂
Guys please do Dennis Pennis video. He’s an English comedian who interviews celebrity’s with an alto ego. Similar vibes to this.
My mate used to live in Staines when Ali G came on the scene, the effort that went into the characters back story is amazing.
Guys you have to!! Watch Ali G In Da House. It's his film and till today it's one of the funniest, if not the funniest films I've ever watched. I never got into Borat coz I missed him as Ali G so much
One of the greatest comedy characters of all time.
Do you want Ali G recommendations or Sacha Baron Cohen recommendations that you might not be familiar with? It's so unfortunate that the Ali G character became so well known that he had to change characters in order to do what he does best.
If you haven't already done so you should check out "this is America" which was made and released in the USA.
He's done a few movies and a few shows that were released in the US.
You won't be able to do it on your channel but you should check out the movie The Dictator, which to my knowledge is his only fully scripted movie.
So I'd like to think my fellow die hard Ali G fans would suggest "Ali G Tree protest" one of his first! BOOYAH!
Genuis. And the ability to stay In character is a real skill.
I met him dressed as Ali G at a caravan convention in London once. One of my favourite characters since I was a kid.
You should watch the movie! 👍👍
You should watch some vids of Norman Gunston (the little Aussie bleeder). Gunston was a character created by Gary MacDonald who would do celebrity interviews, stay in character throughout and adlib depending on the reactions. Televised a few decades earlier than Ali G. Interviewed Sally Struthers, Mohamed Ali, Paul McCartney, Frank Zappa and the like. Basically any foreign celeb that came to Australia and would be unaware that he was a character and not for real.
You really should do some of the full interview in this, some are amazing.

They acted a little bit gangster (but they weren’t) into tracksuits and gold chains, into drum n bass/jungle music. Who enjoyed smoking weed and usually drove Ford escorts suped up with big bass speakers, in their car (vibrating with bass as they drove past) Back in the 90’s I believe Sasha called them white boys acting Black but that might not be very PC to say that now lol. Nobody cared about that back in the day, everyone despite their colour thought the character was hilarious. I’m sure everyone who was into the early to late 90’s rave culture met an Ali G 😂 I met many, ESPECIALLY from Staines lmao... It was perfect timing, for this character!
If you type in Ali G meets the Beckhams, the interview with them should come up. It was for comic relief and very funny. You guys would love it 😅
There is much more Ali G stuff out there. Miost of it is hilarious. I hope you find some more to watch because I love to see your reaction.
Your faces when he said "Why is it the responsibility of the Youth in Asia"!!!!!!😂😂😂
I can't believe you thought he was dumb - THAT IS THE ACT!!
He very carefully set up all the word misunderstandings and the misdirection.
He's a genius.
His interview with Gail Porter was hilarious. Sasha Cohen Baron has a few movies, "Ali G in da house" is my all time favourite
Gotta check you on 17:24
The Show's Premise is to TROLL people, the experts are not supposed to find it funny. If they start suspecting it is trolling they will either leave or play along and it stop being funny or Ali G persona stops being effective. The floater bit gives you a great example of how Ali G digs in to his persona and never breaks, to a point where the poor professor genuinely believes it's serious and Ali G is not happy with him.
He is so funny at everything he puts his mind too. Bliddy love him. Please put more of him on 😂
Guys you must react to WHO IS AMERICA? Its produced by Sascha Baron Cohen(with a Hand full characters that he move in, and all the ppl who he will met for a Interview are high ranked politic,Sheriff, trump&friends ppl, and the special one is with OJ Simpson) & SHOWTIME.
If you fancy reacting to a film, you need to react to "Ali G Indahouse", old but gold!
As commented below Ali G is a Genius, and Graduate of Cambridge University. His ability to dumb down to pander to these intelligent minds is amazing to watch. All of the characters he does and any question he asks is addressing an issue or an injustice which he is well read in, be it racism, feminism, antisemitism or any other ism.
You should watch him interview Posh (Posh Spice) and Becks (David Beckham) it's super funny. Ali-G wasn't a journalist to start with he was just a character but when he went to the US he used Ali-G to interview people and no one knew it was a character it was long before Borat. When Ali G met the Beckhams | Comic Relief - RUclips they did it for comic relief watch it
Ali G in Northern Ireland worth a watch
9:10 You need to see Brasseye - Drugs episode, .......they parody DARE in that (BrassEye = very edgy late 90's parody news show, hilarious, brilliant writing, very on the edge, was critically loved and also hated, the show generated more complaints and also more letters of approval from the general public, than any other show in uk history)
You guys are funny. You make watching Ali G even more entertaining
The cop episode I'm full is a must 😂🤣😅
Soo jealous yous are just discovering this character
As Ali G he made a speech to Harvard graduates, it's on RUclips. Perhaps you could react to that ? It's very funny.
You should just watch the full clips from these scenes, there are no best bits - it's all great :) Ali G started on the 11 O'Clock Show (same as Ricky Gervais), he was "the voice of the youth" and went around interviewing people with the angle that they were getting a youth perspective on various topics. He had to change character when Ali G got too famous and people started knowing who he was.. (much like Borat's problem now)
I came across The Ali G show 20 years ago. I had the same reaction. Funniest damn thing ever. I became addicted. 🤣
That youth in Asia one still kills me to this day. Ali G is the ultimate troll. He even got Trump at one stage... lol
The ol' ice-cream glove.
He didn’t get Trump at all.
Trump wasnt havin it haha
@@skolex33 He got him on camera doing a bit. That is exactly what Ali G did. So he did get him, even if Trump wasn't exactly buying the old ice-cream glove idea... lol
This guys an absolute treasure Ali G was king 😂
I've watched this 3 times. I hope part 2 is ready.
Love the vids 😄 I would recommend just watching all the full clips like: science, drugs, religion etc.
I remember the euthanasia joke from when this program was first on TV… I laughed for a month
Sasha is a very witty and intelligent bloke, and you'd have to get up very early to catch him out. All his characters are hilarious
Haven't laughed that hard in a while 😂
I had forgotten the " youth in Asia" comment. Brilliant
One note,our council estates vary depending on the location/estate, but they're like a mix of trailer parks/hoods/projects, they're jus "low cost" government housing
