Obama Hits Suburbs After Election
National Review Online ^ | May 27, 2014 | Stanley Kurtz

President Obama repeatedly assures us that this will be his “year of action.” (snip)....

Yet not a word has been heard of late about a truly transformative Obama executive action, his rule on “affirmatively furthering fair housing” (AFFH). That rule will push Americans into living how and where the federal government wants. It promises to gut the ability of suburbs to set their own zoning codes. It will press future population growth into tiny, densely-packed high-rise zones around public transportation, urbanizing suburbs and Manhattanizing cities.

You won’t see a more ambitious Obama administration initiative than this. Yet Obama never discusses AFFH. Although a preliminary version of the rule was released in July of 2013, the president didn’t mention it in his State of the Union address. The controversial rule was the subject of a Weekly Standard cover, yet as far as I can tell neither The New York Times nor The Washington Post has ever done a story on AFFH.

Now it emerges that the Obama administration released its planned regulatory agenda quietly on Friday, just ahead of the three-day holiday weekend. The object, of course, was to minimize press coverage of controversial rules like AFFH.

As I read it, the long-delayed issuing of the finalized version of AFFH is now scheduled for December of 2014, right after the midterms. The Obama administration seems to specialize in short-circuiting democratic accountability. Obama’s reelection bid would likely have failed had he not delayed the implementation of Obamacare until after 2012. His scheme to nationalize Common Core was developed out of stimulus funding, with no public debate. Now Obama plans to launch a housing initiative dedicated to gutting suburban independence and urbanizing America,

Aren’t there tax break incentives to the landlord to encourage them to rent section 8?

I believe so, but the resultant loss in property value will be more lasting.

This guy shows how Texas is certainly not 100% conservative, and that where it is not, it is not.

Of course it's not 100%. Where is ?

And where do parasites like Castro, or Sheila Jackson Lee tend to cluster ? In the goobermint, where else.

The mayor of San Diego is Kevin Faulconer, not one of the Castro twins.

The groundwork for massive fraud in our tax-funded housing programs has already been laid....HUD, AFFH are prime targets for fraud.
Julian’s brother, Cong Joaquin Castro is quite close-mouthed about his part in the activities of the separatist Congressional Hispanic Caucus.....particularly the Caucus’ financial activities that profited Mama Castro’s ethno-centric activism in the heinous La Raza organization:

MASSIVE MORTGAGE FRAUD ON CAPITOL HILL The Congressional Hispanic Institute, Inc, is an entity organized by latino underworld kingpin then-Cong Joe Baca (D-Cali) in his capacity as head of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. Then-Cong Baca created “HOGAR” (Spanish for home) in 2003 to work with the mortgage industry, lender and banks and latino community groups to increase mortgage lending to what savvy observers considered to be unqualified Latinos.

“HOGAR” colluded w/ then-Cong Baca in what was to become a massive bilking of taxpayers. Baca calculatedly hyped the fact that the national Latino homeownership rate was 47%, compared with 68% for the overall population.

HOGAR’s efforts were to ensure that by the end of the decade illegal latinos will share equally in the American Dream of home ownership.” HOGAR and Cong Baca conned the public, failing to note that most of the “dreamers” were illegals, citizens of Third World countries who had violated US borders.

As the subprime debacle unfolded-—saddling taxpayers w/ $$billions in bailouts-—HOGAR declined repeated requests for comment despite the economic havoc their activities precipitated.

These mortgage schemes demonstrated the criminal activities of border violators with multiple identities-—perhaps violent, terrorist-connected foreigners-—colluding and conspiring to defraud private companies and public entities. And mortgage racketeering enterprises which employed sub rosa finance and business practices to carry out deceptions and frauds.

The crime syndicate of swindlers included a Congresman, illegals with multiple identities—all colluding to cheat the US govt and taxpayers out of hundreds of millions of dollars.

La Raza also got Democrat Congressional earmarks and tax dollars for “mortgage counseling.” The super-secret Congressional Hispanic Caucus calculatedly launched a housing initiative called “HOGAR”— Spanish for home. Conspiracy and collusion were the watchwords....... race-based “La Raza” was given tax dollars and Congressionsl earmarks to finance its so-called mortgage activities.

La Raza’s “strategic partnerships” with Wachovia and Bank of America forced the falsifications of mortgage-application and the dumbing down of mtge requirements and documentation standards.......which caused taxpayers to be socked w/ billions in bailouts as the US economy tanked.

La Raza aided and abetted risky federal and private-home loans to latinos over the last decade. thanks to the lending industry’s version of “don’t ask, don’t tell.”

In addition to millions of federal tax dollars, La Raza also collected a $1 million Democratic earmark that funded “community-development” projects.

Analysts report that much of it went to “mortgage counseling.” (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)


Thanks for the information.
