Highlights
Affordable housing = 25% of income

Questions to address and help add information

 * How was this standard set?
 * Who was against the passage?
 * Was there public input?
 * How did the implementation phase go?
 * Is anyone looking at addressing this or modifying it?
 * How could this be changed in the future, amended by Presidents? 35% vote in congress?
 * Why was this change enacted?
 * Was this part of a campaign promise or an effort to fix a large social problem? Chermsmeyer (talk) 17:42, 4 May 2017 (UTC)

Critique:
Forbes.com "how senator brooke helped destroy public housing"
 * Decreased funds for management => physical degridation. As tenant funds decreased, HUD subsidy ^^
 * Work disincentive for the poor.

The atlantic "The power of public housing" Djfiedler (talk) 04:50, 4 May 2017 (UTC)
 * public-housing authorities couldn't collect sufficient funds to maintain healthy living standards. Restating Goetz.  Blames white flight, civil rights act 64.
 * Drove working families out of the project
