Biden’s Executive Order on Housing: Replacing Old Sins with New Ones Howard Husock © Rick Wilking/Reuters Houses in the Denver, Colo., suburb of Superior in 2006. President Biden’s flurry of executive orders has now extended to housing policy and to a pledge to reverse the Trump administration’s approach to “fair housing.” Specifically, that would mean reversing the Trump reversal of an Obama-era rule known as “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” designed to introduce “affordable” (read “subsidized”) housing into higher-income, suburban zip codes. To justify a return to this controversial policy, President Biden rehearsed a long litany of federal housing-policy sins. He’s right about many of those but wrong about his approach to redress. More subsidized housing, in the tragic public-housing tradition, will only spur division and do little to help minority groups in their quest for upward mobility.
