Biden’s Plan to Lower Housing Costs Is a Campaign Gamble

Four years ago, Donald Trump declared that Joe Biden wants to “destroy our suburbs.”

“Your home will go down in value and crime rates will rapidly rise,” Trump warned. “People have worked all their lives to get into a community, and now they're going to watch it go to hell.”

That hasn’t happened, yet. But a new Biden policy proposal on affordable housing—“what could be an aggressive federal intervention in local politics,” according to The New York Times—threatens to reignite the firestorm.
