        Because the enhanced voucher provision does not
compel a property owner to renew an enhanced-voucher
tenancy after the natural expiration of its lease term, we need
not determine whether Harvey had cause to terminate under the
statute. Harvey is not barred from initiating eviction
proceedings in accordance with state and local law.
                      IV.    Conclusion
        As the Supreme Court recently observed, “reasonable
people can disagree with how Congress balanced the various
social costs and benefits” in a certain area—here, affordable
housing for low-income families. Henson v. Santander
Consumer USA, Inc., 137 S. Ct. 1718, 1725 (2017). “Constant
competition between constable and quarry, regulator and
regulated, can come as no surprise in our changing world. But
neither should the proper role of the judiciary in that process—
to apply, not amend, the work of the People’s representatives.”
Id. at 1726.
       The judgment of the District Court will be affirmed. 28
GREENAWAY, JR., dissenting.
