On Civil Rights: Require suburbs to open up to low-income housing

The ex-veep wants to ramp up an Obama-era scheme called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing that barely got underway before President Trump took office. Obama's Department of Housing and Urban Development floated a requirement for "balanced housing" in every suburb. "Balanced" meant affordable even for people who need federal vouchers. Towns had to make it possible for low-income minorities to choose suburban living and provide "adequate support to make their choices possible."
