From The American Prospect

Massachusetts, California, and New Jersey have enacted laws against "snob zoning" that enable developers of low-income housing to override local zoning restrictions. The Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area has gone even further. State Representative Myron Orfield, acting on behalf of the communities in the metro area, sponsored legislation to create an elected metropolitan council with the authority to establish "fair share" housing goals for each municipality. This legislation gave the council the power to withhold sewer, highway, infrastucture, and other state funds from communities that refuse to comply.

Perfect examples of socialist-misery politics. These idiots think that spreading the urban problems to the suburbs will lighten the load on the urban city centers and make the suburbs pay to fix the problems they've escaped.
