YES. Schools in low-income neighborhoods receive less funding, and if we continue to concentrate poor people, we're setting students from low-income families up for failure.
Important Q about new social/public housing programs: where are we going to put the units? Under current zoning, new low-income housing is relegated to underinvested neighborhoods, concentrating poverty more. Ending exclusionary zoning has to be part of broader housing reform.https://twitter.com/TCKinFC12/status/1208757202405773313 …

This is an important question that social housing advocates have met head-on. Our
#HomesGuarantee platform proposes federal preemption of the application of many restrictive land use policies to social housing: https://mk0homesguarant73iku.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/uploads/Homes-Guarantee-_-Briefing-Book.pdf …. Bernie has a similar plan. -
You don’t have a right to tell others how to live. If you do, then we have a right to restrict abortion, sexual orientation, transexuality, recreational drug use, et al. - whatever the local majority deems right.

NoVA suburbs have neighborhoods with concentrations of market-affordable rental housing where LI hhlds live. As we expand housing opportunities into SF neighborhoods, we must also invest in underserved communities. Many residents want to remain there.

It's been done before. It's not a "new" idea. http://www.nber.org/mtopublic/ It doesn't result in the Utopia you envision. Not the worst idea, but the results may surprise the adherents to progressivism that think it makes a "Utopia".

Ever thought that your Democrat policies are part of the problem. Next you’ll want Shitaria law. How about no.

Ppl are just gonna move out. This is beyond idiotic. U're trying to avoid putting projects in already-underinvested communities, but people will move out, and u will have just created new underinvested communities. There's no possible way u're dumb enough to think this will work.
