Omar's $1.2 Trillion 'Homes for All Act' Heralded as Ambitious Addition
to Green New Deal Framework
The 10-year plan to build millions of sustainable, affordable housing
units is called "a new mile marker in the progressive left's efforts to
stake out a national housing agenda."

According to a fact sheet (pdf) from Omar's office, the legislation
"establishes a new vision of how 21st Century public and affordable
housing should look and operate" by requiring that all new housing units
built with the allocated funds:

Remain permanently affordable;
Be integrated, to the best possible extent with public transit and
vehicle alternatives like walking and biking, while allowing for
flexibility to accommodate the needs and resources of rural,
metropolitan, and Tribal areas;
Be designed, built, and operated to the highest possible environmental
standard, with a focus on minimizing energy costs and achieving carbon
neutrality;
Prohibit any discrimination against residents based on sexual
orientation, gender, criminal history, or immigration status;
Be located in communities that are in compliance with the Affirmatively
Furthering Fair Housing rule in order to ensure fair and equal access;
And provide residents with free, voluntary wrap-around services that
help address the needs of those experiencing chronic homelessness or
housing instability€”like access to healthcare, employment, or education
assistance, childcare, financial literacy class, and other
community-based support services.

I think this has already been tried. It was called Cabrini-Green. How
did that work out??
