Maryland Legislator Wants To Steer Low-Income Housing To Affluent Suburban Neighborhoods
A Maryland legislator wants to identify affluent suburban neighborhoods and target them for low-income, high-density housing.
House Del. Vaughn Stewart, a Democrat, wrote Jan. 3 that he will introduce �Homes for All� legislation that would �legalize the construction of modest homes in neighborhoods close to affluent schools, reliable transit, and good jobs.�
�For too long, local governments have weaponized zoning codes to block people of color and the working class from high-opportunity neighborhoods, pushing them to the crumbling margins of cities and towns. We must act boldly to reverse decades of these exclusionary policies,� he wrote.
