It’ll cost votes. Universally. No matter who the constituents normally vote for they will not vote for someone that supports low-income housing of that sort. It’s kinda obvious in hindsight, I just never connected the dots till it was pointed out in this article (and read the linked article). Poor and homeless people overwhelmingly don’t vote. Land owners are overwhelmingly in favor of zoning and land use policy that preserves the value of their homes. Anyone trying to pass laws at any level from municipal up to the state and especially federal levels is likely to face near universal backlash across party lines, unfortunately.
