I think in many places voters would vote against that sort of plan because many see low income families as a blight on their neighborhood. The againt campaign would only need to paint low income people as stereotypical overweight family with 6 kids ananoned cars in the yard and drugs problems and people will choose no neighbors to low income now neighbors
