[04/16/2014] Snob Zone contender: Oyster Bay, NYSnob zones
... if the effect of the residency preference is to shut out minorities, then the feds say it’s illegal. But that interpretation may be put to the test in the Justice Department’s discrimination lawsuit against the Long Island community of Oyster Bay (pop. 300,000). The complaint takes issue with Oyster Bay’s use of residency preferences for two affordable housing programs. One, the Next Generation program, was aimed at young people with incomes between 80 and 120 percent of the median town income. The other, Golden Age, was intended to provide senior citizens with affordable living close to their families. Residents were given preference for units in both programs.So far, none of the buyers in the Next Generation condominium program are black. And only “a handful” of residents at the senior housing complex are black. The reason, the feds say, is because Oyster Bay is 85 percent white. Therefore, a residency preference effectively shuts out minorities, which is a violation of the Fair Housing Act.

“Housing programs designed to help young families and senior citizens purchase homes should be available to people of all races, including African-Americans,” Eastern District U.S. Attorney Loretta Lynch said in a statement Thursday. “To the extent residency preferences prevent families and senior citizens from purchasing homes because of race, ethnicity or color, the preferences violate federal law and cannot be tolerated.”[07/22/2013] HUD's New 'Fair Housing' Rule Establishes Diversity Data for Every Neighborhood in U.S.
“This proposed rule represents a 21st century approach to fair housing, a step forward to ensuring that every American is able to choose to live in a community they feel proud of – where they have a fair shot at reaching their full potential in life,” said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan.“For the first time ever," Donovan added, "HUD will provide data for every neighborhood in the country, detailing the access African American, Latino, Asian, and other communities have to local assets, including schools, jobs, transportation, and other important neighborhood resources that can play a role in helping people move into the middle class."
Social engineering
According to HUD, long-term solutions include "helping people gain access to different neighborhoods and channeling investments into under-served areas."
The greedy landlords for cheap illegals' labor ... will be thrilled ... to have the new AG pushing for more and more compact, dense, so-called "sustainable" living cubicles.
It means that every piece of property about which there is proposed development, will fall under the "regulations" of the race hustlers and bankster-croniess and politicos who lust for more and more federal-aid-of-all-brands-and-suits' cash flow.
Mark Levin can explain it when he returns to his radio show next week.
Every municipality will have its allotment of blacks for which they will be expected to provide housing, education, municipal services, and sustenance. “Low income” guidelines didn’t cut it because there is a growing number of whites that qualify (especially retirees) - and that left blacks in neighborhoods without “makers” to provide for them.
In my area we now have a mass of Hispanics; in the fight for freebies that probably won’t cut it anymore (for the same reason as above).
