US housing policy, a rejoinder

Article Abstract:

The development of a federal housing policy must cover the broadest possible political constituency for progressive housing reform. Federal funding channels between local and national government must also be properly managed to avoid political conflict. Essentially, what may be needed is a progressive political coalition that has the political will to establish decent and affordable housing for every American.
