Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is introducing a public housing bill and resurrecting her 'Green New Deal' term on Thursday.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., will resurrect her 'Green New Deal' terminology with a new housing bill she plans to announce Thursday, according to Politico. Ocasio-Cortez will announce the 'Green New Deal for Housing' alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders I-Vt., who is sponsoring the legislation in the Senate. She says the bill will focus largely on public housing, arguing that private housing is no longer realistic for many Americans.
No housing conversation is complete without a conversation around public housing,' Ocasio-Cortez added. 'We in the United States have lived under the scourge of the Faircloth amendment for decades, and that has helped precipitate — and contributed to — the housing crisis that we are living in today. A major part of our housing problem is a supply problem.
