“and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory. “

Here is what they will do. Insist on low income housing to be built in any new development.
Just wait.

“O” is a f&^%ing moron!

• Let HIM go live in a s%$# hole once he leaves the WH.
• Let HIM buy a house and find some drug dealer/sex offender next door
• Let HIM fight with the crud neighbor who wants to blast his stereo all night and day
• Let HIM scrimp and save to get into a secure neighborhood only to have the dregs of society foisted on him

HUD could also purchase existing houses in existing neighborhoods, and turn them into low income, subsidized housing.

How would you like to wake up one morning and find one of these next door.

so if you live in an area zoned for SINGLE FAMILY dwellings they will override it with section-8 housing?

It’d be a shame if such places caught on fire while under construction..........

HUD is a federal agency that should be on the chopping block. There is nothing in the Constitution that gives the federal government authority to be involved in the housing market. The Republican Congress should defund HUD completely as a deficit reducing action and to stop this planned social engineering.

Unfortunately, the Republican Congress chooses to continue this agency and its activities proving Republicans are complicit in furthering the progressive agenda.

The New Orleans newspaper was doing an exposé of the HUD program in particular the 9th just before Katrina hit. Iirc most of the houses were owned by three groups using HUD money for improvement (one house in particular stands out over 300 000 collected for improvements that never happened )
They were doing a fairly competent job of tying the corruption. To the Landreau family ( Papa L had started the HUD program under Carter.and knew exactly where the loopholes were)
The houses left untouched in that ward could probably be linked to the same groups!
Program also was worked by VJ in Chicago to put large sums in her pocket. BUT that’s a much longer story!

And Congress? Another throw up the hands, shrug the shoulders, then ‘move along, nothing to see here’ moment?

The list of tyranny grows longer every day, and the spineless ones (unless they’re fighting for re-election) do nothing/go on vacation (which I guess IS better than most...at least they’re not making it WORSE. Yet).

1) They've already done that.

2) It doesn't work. Whites and middle-class minorities just move further away, where there are virtually no zoning laws.

3) If you're a clever planner, you can stick one of these "housing areas" anywhere and surround it with non-middle class stuff. No matter what these idiots do, they CANNOT make people live next to people they don't want to live next to.

And what do these brilliant social engineers think they’re going to do to fully built neighborhoods that are predominantly white?

Whatever happened to the ideal that Americans are a people free to come and go, to live where they choose to live?
.........................................................

That died in the 50’s when blacks started block busting and realtors rolled in the dough of getting rich off the moves.

This will be the same thing. Just more shoving whites out into suburbs running away from the shadow.

*****************
I am totally against this policy, 100%. If they go forward, one thing should be made available to homeowners..

If I own a home of X value and HUD builds a ghetto slum next to my home and the value of my home goes down when I try to sell it, HUD has to pay the difference. I know,,lots of variables in there,,but the intent is that if HUD is going to purposefully depress neighborhoods, they should be held responsible for the financial loss of the homeowners. Lord knows they’ll be taking credit for any neighborhood successes. Just a thought

I think they are providing large subsidies for rent in certain suburban neighborhoods. This has the same effect as you describe.

Oh... they'll fix that up real nice. If the police don't patrol as much, that will increase crime in the area, in turn lowering desirability in those areas.

I'm predicting an order of magnitude more Trayvons coming up real soon.

I’m sure that Obama’s Chicago neighborhood will have plenty of low income living opportunities; if you count servants’ quarters.
