Vienna has a way to make affordable housing and combat climate change all at the same time. Now U.S. cities want in, and they're building their own green housing.
Could this city be the model for how to tackle the housing crisis and climate change?

New from Money Trail: Trump is again trying to resurrect coal, which threatens public health and the climate and employs fewer than 43,000 people. The U.S. solar and wind industries combined employ more than 390,000.
