Bernie Sanders offers 3 ideas to help battle gentrification while in Greenville
In Burlington, Sanders said the city subsidized construction of affordable housing that could only be sold later at a marginally higher rate. The concept has been used in Greenville communities such as Viola Street.
The other two proposals haven't been implemented here — requiring developers to provide a certain amount of affordable housing in developments, often referred to as "inclusionary zoning," and laws mandating rent control for working-class renters.
"If you want to build fancy housing, that's fine," Sanders said in reference to requiring developers to aside affordable units. "But you're going to have to build a certain amount of affordable housing."
Rent control is a concept the senator said he grew accustomed to as a child growing up in Brooklyn, New York, and is used in cities like San Francisco.
"People have a right to live in rental units that are affordable," he said.
