Kohl-Welles vowed instead to introduce a proposal to put $25 million toward the stadium and use the rest to fund affordable housing.

Government can best help create affordable housing by eliminating regulations which make new construction so expensive and difficult, and by building and improving roads so commuters can get from newly built suburbs to work areas.

These are thing Democrats are firmly opposed to doing - they despise new housing construction and Democrats are determined to reduce the number of cars on the road. Simply giving taxpayer cash away to build low-income housing is something that will do nothing to solve the problem of affordable housing.

Yeah, but it will help with the problem of getting them votes. There is no other problem.
