Do you think that military housing improved after it was privatized?

I have lived on post under both the old system (Ft. Leonard Wood) and under the privatized system (Ft. Belvoir).  I find it difficult to decide which is better overall because each has their merits.

Overall, the quality of the available housing has improved with privatization (new construction is running about four times what it did before) and the response time for problems is generally quicker (the old DPW work order system was PAINFUL).

Value for the dollar is the issue.  As a lower rank enlisted soldier, on post housing is probably your best deal but I am a CPT on the east coast (Aberdeen Proving Ground).  My BAH is $2,100 and for that amount, Corvias offered me a 1,699 sq. ft., 3 BR, 1 Bath duplex with a 2 car garage.  I decided to go offpost and got a 2,100 sq. ft., 3 BR, 3.5 Bath town home, with a three room master suite (5 piece master bath), and a fireplace for $1,895.  With utilities, I'm paying about what I would have paid Corvias and got a hell of a lot more house in a very nice neighborhood.
