Half of Jeff Gahan's enthusiasts in the Floyd County DemoDisneyDixiecratic Party are horrified by this idea because they agree with Dear Leader that the best solution to the public housing problem is to run the residents out of town.
The other half are scandalized because this is radicalism run amok, and can't we just be clean safe centrists -- you know, avoid insulting the 1%?

The bill introduced by AOC and Sanders would bring that backlog up to date while also reducing the energy consumption from this aging housing stock.
