More policing of lending discrimination https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/09/elizabeth-warrens-fix-americas-housing-crisis/571210/ … I like it.

1 and 4 sound obviously good, 2 sounds alright, and 3 sound like a foot gun.

Down payment assistance is the least bad way of helping people afford housing, contrasted with mortgage rate subsidies or interest deductions. The way it fits into the bill is clever, too. It's close to a reparations wealth transfer without using those words.
