I partly disagree here. I think you can see a revision back if you removed the welfare that subsidizes those communities. That being said, the political toxicity from that would make it impossible. Subsidize, imo, 2 parent households with 2, or less, children. That works out with less poverty and better parental engagement (over fewer children). I have no data to back this up. Just a thought.

I wonder if it would be as easy as just changing the wording that requires the father to be absent (or requiring a single head of household, whatever) in the relevant laws. One could sell that as loosening the restrictions to the left and ceasing to penalize better family situations to the right.
