I think it’s interesting to American audiences because we effectively do just that for housing[0], which was seen as necessary as part of trying to repair the countries history of slavery. My (limited) understanding is that it’s very well litigated - if you refuse to sell or rent to someone on the basis of a protected class they can sue you, and the government can even force the property owner to hire an independent manager so the suing tenant can rent but not come in direct contact with. This kind of language raises lots of red flags to my American ears.
