Obama administration using housing department in effort to diversify neighborhoods
Fox News ^ | August 8, 2013 | Doug McKelway

In a move some claim is tantamount to social engineering, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is imposing a new rule that would allow the feds to track diversity in America’s neighborhoods and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory.

The policy is called, "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing." It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.

HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the federal rule at the NAACP convention in July.

"Unfortunately, in too many of our hardest hit communities, no matter how hard a child or her parents work, the life chances of that child, even her lifespan, is determined by the zip code she grows up in. This is simply wrong,” he said.

Data from this discrimination database would be used with zoning laws, housing finance policy, infrastructure planning and transportation to alleviate alleged discrimination and segregation.

Where has Mr. Donovan been...has he not seen various HUD disasters similar to his designs? Lot of folks flying into and out of Detroit is a prime example....real estate, i.e., buying a house is a big investment for most folks, what does Donovan think will happen to that market if he continues on this social engineering path...another Obama train wreck guaranteed.

America. A place where the government will ENSURE that you CANNOT live in a nice neighborhood.

0bama wants to create an America where his 'citizen army' is living on your street, within arm's reach for easy dispatch.

We should send them lists of university towns showing neighborhoods where the professors and administrators live.

Palo Alto south of Stanford is lily white. Big problem.

One of the tools of real engineering is destructive testing: you overload your design until it breaks. Social engineering does pretty much the same thing.

We try again because the right people have not made it work. (Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Trotsky, Mao, Che, etc..)

Communitarianism is alive and well.

Massachusetts has had an "affirmative housing" law for years.Long story short...my neighborhood,*very* left wing,*very* prosperous Boston suburb (but I'm not rich)...a developer proposed building "affordable housing" on a parcel of idle land.The neighborhood went *ballistic*! "Think of the children"."It's unsafe"."It would damage the environment".

I kid you not.

It didn't get built.

Will whites be force-marched into Detroit at gunpoint?

“Social engineering at its worst !!!!!”

Actually those who wanted a fight to the finish with the “diverse” people may get their wish; whites no longer have the ability to flee, so they’ll have to stand & fight. Fortunately my area has so many Hispanics we probably won’t be required to take on a load of blacks to house, feed, clothe, and school.

This is because in the liberal ‘mind’ everyone must be subject to the same risks, the same crime, the same rapes, the same thefts, the same murders as in the ghettos. It’s ‘unfair’ that some people should sleep safely at night.

In the liberal ‘mind’ the honest, law-abiding non-violent people who respect others’ rights are the oppressors, and therefore they are bad.

Whitey - you can’t run and get away from the murdering, raping, robbing and assaults by living among honest, non-violent people. 0bama and his followers are going to bring it out to you.

It’s really a waste of breath to talk about this. Most Americans have their head up their a$$e$ and don’t care.

Birds of a feather flock together.

Thugs stay with thugs.

Middle Class people stay with Middle Class people.

Their respective light reflectivity is irrelevant.

Sadly, blacks are more often thugs due to incredible levels of bastardy.

But poor white trash is just as susceptible to being concentrated in trailer parks.

This is the madness of the drive for a total control society. Everyone except the ruling elite will end up in the mud together. Conflict and destruction are goals and the Obama functionaries will rule over all of the mud people.

...housing finance policy...

The tip of the spear.

Wrong color? Wrong neighborhood? No loan. It's like redlining in reverse...

Clearly, the solution is to lie and say you are black and hispanic on the census.

Beedy eyed gov king cuomo of NY ran hud under clinton here is another fine piece of dog doo. These devious cretans want to change good neighborhoods into thier excellent accompishements like Jersey city, camden, newark brownsville, east newyork, the south bronx, compton. They experiment on us, let them move thier diverse crowd into thier not so diverse neighborhoods.

Why is anyone surprised? This is where this regime has been heading towards, since the election of this LIAR IN CHIEF. You don’t still understand, this is the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. They can do anything to anybody they please and there aint a damned we can do about it. All they have to do is sic the myriads of government agencies on the offending company or individual, and he ot the company will be forced to comply with whatever law they are promoting or go broke. They can even tell the corporation, that for every house they sell to a white person, he must sell one to a black person. Doesn’t matter whether that person can afford a house in that area. If the city has a 20% black population, every neighborhood must contain 20% black, or the corporation will not be allowed to do business. All it takes is a stroke of a pen.
