My opinion is they want the tide to turn. Two factors I think that are influencing this is that the market is flooded with overpriced apartments/condos in gentrification area's and the plan to move a lot of the minorities and low income displaced people from within these area's suffered a serious set back during the Trump administration who rescinded Obama era rules that left investors using government funds restricted to move to suburban area's to build. Developers and investors have been making more money renovating and renting inner city buildings and properties and didn't have to deal with the problems that plague low income individuals. The only way to more away from that is to set pricing so high that it forces developers hands to look at building subsidized federal housing with government grants and loans. A lot of the suburban area's have developed industrial parks over the years that need a more readily available work force, the plan to disperse low income workers into these communities on a as needed demand has been slowed by the higher rates of rents they can get from the more well off without all the problems that come with low income people. To keep the low income displaced minorities and low income displaced individuals from coming back into the gentrification area's the rents always have had to been set higher than what subsidized housing was paying, which over the last few decades have been the driver of the higher rents we have been seeing, so the higher the government is willing to go paying rents landlords will meet or exceed those rents. I really don't see this as a result of diversity, inclusion or more sustainable housing for climate change as much as a carefully crafted and orchestrated plan to readily find a way to force a low income work force into area's that have a demand for it.
