The City plans to attack economic segregation in its affordable housing plan placing the poor in middle-class neighborhoods and the more affluent in high-poverty spots.
Housing Preservation and Development Commissioner Vicki Been said the plan to build 80,000 new affordable apartments and preserve 120,000 units would create a more diverse city.
We really have to make economic diversity a cornerstone of that plan, she said at a City Council budget hearing Wednesday.
That means that in some neighborhoods that have mostly middle or upper-income housing, that we would need to put affordable housing at the very lowest income, she said.
But in some communities where we have a great deal of poverty . . . we would try to bring more moderate (-income housing) into those neighborhoods, to try to achieve the kind of diversity that we want, Been said.
De Blasios executive budget boosted the housing departments capital cash to $3.1 billion, up from $1.9 billion in his January preliminary budget, to help pay for the ambitious proposal.

Coming to the suburbs near you. Don’t kid yourself. This is a goal of the leftists. There will be “families” in your neighborhood who didn’t pay for their house, you did. You will be forced to put up with the noise and the stink and the rapes and the crime.
Not quite the same, but... I live near Albany NY and they park their new welfare cases, druggies and vagrants in motels at the City outskirts. They do this to give the “appearance” that downtown is cleaner. In effect it really just allows those problems to metastasize and drags down neighborhoods that would otherwise be relatively free of such issues -sinks the City as a whole.
The Great Society II
It has already happened due to our HOA. The by-laws were changed to allow people to rent out their houses when the economy slowed down and houses could not be sold for months on end. Now fly-by-nights are in here, and when they skip out on the lease, we are left with the flooded basements, mold, unkempt lawns, and whatever else lowers the property value. We keep getting our dues jacked up to pay for things the original owner/residents never had to: someone to pick up dog waste, private security, etc. The renters do not respect the parking arrangements, do not keep quiet, do not observe any of the rules they don’t want to, run businesses illegally out of the houses so that there is no parking due to strangers constantly using the street like a strip mall. It is hell.

In Lancaster County they moved ‘one’ family of section 8 people into a quiet turn around culdisack. The homes were all middle-class 'working' folks.
Immediately boom box's were blaring 24/7 and old cars lined driveways in need of repairs. Parents yelling constantly at their children and domestic arguments played out on the street. Not to mention a constant flow of traffic throughout as their friends “visited” 24/7.
One by one neighbors moved out, in just two years there was nothing left but section 8 people and the place is a squalor now.
.....”the more affluent will leave and the ghetto lords will have the whole place to themselves. Have the dimwits even considered this??”......
Oh they know this will happen...so it’s more about sort of taking out the trash from where it is to a different dumping site in order to use the land, properties etc. for other city purposes etc.
My family saw this happen to their neighborhood in quick order....a beautiful rural housing development went down hill in less then two years. Everybody who was there moved out. Now it’s all section 8....just relocated.
In Florida a city wanted to push back the bad section of the city for development......the first thing they did was put a sports stadium in the middle of it....wasn’t long before the rental rates escalated rapidly to where the people moved because they couldn’t afford to stay. Today it’s beautiful there.
Many areas in Manhattan have finally been reclaimed from the ghetto for law abiding people to live in, for example, Hell's Kitchen and Lower East Side, but it looks like Wilhelm wants the hood to come back.
....”When crimes centralized its easier to handle with fewer officers. When its spread out over a large metropolitan area it becomes almost impossible”.....
That’s exactly right....I lived in a city where I was told on arrival never to go past King Street....it was the dividing line.
“WE are moving THEM into YOUR neighborhood. Not OURS..”
Let us not forget that the Housing collapse all started because Dems in Congress wanted under-qualified minorities to be able to get into better homes and neighborhoods. Trillions were lost, as the Dems in the subcommittees were told would happen.

Yep...take the rif-raff and plant them where people actually have something worth protecting. Always a good plan.
Indeed. I hope it causes great misery to many arrogant elitists.
Let them feel the love!
