HUD Proposes Plan to Racially, Economically Integrate Neighborhoods
US News and World Report ^ | August 9, 2013 | Elizabeth Flock

Posted on 08/10/2013 5:12:24 PM PDT by RedStateGuyTrappedinCT

Move would allow Obama administration to institute policies that would better integrate communities

The Department of Housing and Urban Development has proposed a new plan to change U.S. neighborhoods it says are racially imbalanced or are too tilted toward rich or poor, arguing the country's housing policies have not been effective at creating the kind of integrated communities the agency had hoped for.

The proposed federal rule, called "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing," is currently under a 60-day public comment period. Though details of how the policy would specifically work are unclear, the rule says HUD would provide states, local governments and others who receive agency money with data and a geospatial tool to look at "patterns of integration and segregation; racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty; access to education, employment, low-poverty, transportation, and environmental health."

States would then assess the best way to integrate communities deemed by HUD's data to not be integrated enough. A HUD official, who did not want to speak on record because of the public comment period, said the rule hopes to better match up HUD-assisted housing with the communities that have good hospitals, schools and other assets.

More crackpot socialist ideas from America's favorite community organizer.

This will result in a housing crash that will make 2008 look like the good old days.

Crush the middle class by destroying the suburbs where they live.

This is not random, nor is it haphazard.

Is this supposed to insert more Democrats into Republican areas? Sounds like gerrymandering with people instead of boundary lines.

I believe that it is being done for three main reasons.

1. To provide a new source of revenue for diversity lawyers and hustlers.
2. To muddy the waters of crime statistics to make it seem those ethnic groups overrepresented are more evenly spread out.
3, It’s an indirect attack on the Second Amendment because when the punks start attacking law abiding citizens and are shot for it, there will be a hue and cry as to how suburb America is using guns to keep out the disadvantage.

I can definitely see the voting aspect, where the thugs force their ability to vote multiple times.

He means “too tilted” toward conservativism.

But, let’s give it a try in Hollywood and Beverly Hills first with plenty of section 8 housing throughout. Use eminent domain if needed (or even if not). And let us see how well it works first.

I predict that sometimes in the near future houses will be built with High walls Broken glass cemented along the tops of the walls.

The houses will be built like fortresses with firing slits and bars on the windows to keep the tugs out.

Oh wait! I lived in a house just like that in a third world country nearly fifty years ago when I was a kid! Is this what my beautiful wonderful country has been changed into... A third world hole in the ground.

And all because some politicians think they know what’s best for the rest of us...

Hey HUD, and obama, and all you feel-good do-good liberals. Here is a crazy idea. How about you leave us the ?$&@”, alone. It is called freedom, it is called liberty. How about you drop your dumb-a$$ ideas and ideals and let us choose where we want to live and who we want to live around. If certain groups make their neighborhoods less attractive than others, so be it. It is their right, just as it is our right not to make our neighborhoods undesirable.

The Democrats are using immigration to gerrymander the country. This is what the massive legal and illegal immigration is about, the supporting of refugees and the encouragement of legal, illegal aliens and refugees to get on welfare programs.

Let’s see, how will the commies make this work?

1.) You’re white, good credit, working, and want to buy a new house. Uh-oh! Not enough minorities in that neighborhood so you don’t qualify for a mortgage.

2.) You’re a minority with prior felony convictions for armed robbery and assault. You presently live in an “urban area”. You have bad credit, you’re receiving disability and food stamps, and you want to buy an expensive house in a suburban area with a low crime rate and good schools. No problem. Here’s free mortgage payments from owebama’s stash at HUD. You’ll have a nice house and all your homies can visit you and scope out your neighbors who unfairly have a lot of nice things that they won’t share. The bastards! Its just not fair! Uncle Fed will make things right!

"I believe that it is being done for three main reasons."

4. To turn red districts blue.
5. To create high-density neighborhoods that make life difficult for families, increase social anomie, and increase a sense of dependency on government.
6. To lower the quality of life in the suburbs out of sheer spite.
7. To achieve global warming amelioration goals by squeezing out the automobile and imposing absolute reliance on public transit.

Let everybody know and don’t be subtle about it: THE DEMOCRATS ARE DOING THIS! The Democrats want to destroy your home sweet home. They don’t want you to be safe, they don’t want your chiuldren to be safe. They want your kids to be beaten and harassed on the school bus, in school or maybe beaten to death as that 12 year old boy in a Philadelphia school yard during recess!

Why would an honest working person of today want to vote for a Democrat? Haven’t they learned their lesson yet?

Purpose is to force 3-car neighborhoods to take section 8 housing and lower value of houses on purpose. This is intertwined with destruction of Dannie mae for the wrong reason I hats fannie but in this case it is to stop private home ownership.

Pay a hood to stay at a Martha’s Vineyard hotel. Give him the money for a room and cash for food. It would be worth a few hundred bucks to level the playing field. Follow the hood at a distance at be sure to take pictures. I believe in integration, don’t you?

Let the liberal elite know the feeling of no place to run. That is what they want to do to us.

This will not work anymore than trying to set up your two best friends on a blind date. It either happens naturally or it doesn’t. Forcing anything will cause failure. The Gov should shut up and let everyone live their lives and let the natural course of things make their way. Obama’s social engineering knows no boudaries, but that’s what he’s about, unfortunately.
