I feel like I don't want the feds to touch housing again after the 1950's.

The progressives in Toronto launched this plan 30 years ago. Now we have ghettos and gun crime where there was none before. If you can pass a law against gentrification in existing hoods....then the locals can stay- but money and profit rule. Clinton is simply pandering.

Gentrification isn't free market either. Bill Clinton in the 90s signed bill granting companies huge tax credits for developing run down urban areas. New York State passed it's own tax credits as well.

So the government essentially paid developers to tear down run down housing for working class people, and replace them with luxury housing.

Now that it's become a huge political issue, the federal government is changing tunes.

Oh by the way there are a number of subsidized mortgage programs. The federal government never stopped it's heavy involvement in the housing market in NYC.

Urban renewal didn't work. Back to the city movement and gentrification is also not working because poverty still remains. Both schemes did not work and was supported heavily by the federal government. In the coming decade ahead, feds will push for expansion of suburban development again. This is what I'm hearing from think tanks. Also in the decades ahead cities clustered together will become regional belts linking to one another.
