How would you do that in Congress? What are some ideas that you have to, to bring that to light? Yeah, two big ideas. So as comptroller, I issued the city's first ever social bonds...dedicated 100% to low income housing for seniors and low income people and people with special needs. We did about $4 billion, created 12,000 low income units. There have never been Federal Social Bonds, U.S. treasuries dedicated to affordable housing. We could do hundreds of thousands of units around the country. (05:22–05:33)
