“It’s that last point that raises an important question about the politics of the administration’s housing proposal. The college-educated, high-income voters who helped put Biden in office are also some of the same voters who oppose most new affordable housing construction, especially when it might be near them — voters whose supposed liberal openness does not extend to their own neighborhood. This is true in cities as large as San Francisco or as small as Charlottesville, Va., where I live.
The Biden coalition is not likely to fracture over the size of the infrastructure bill or the taxes needed to pay for it. But if there is any issue that might reveal the tensions and fault lines inside Biden’s big tent, it is the question of housing — and where, exactly, the least fortunate Americans are supposed to live.”
