For years, the cities have been robbing the suburbs but they now have a scheme that will quickly end in a takeover of the suburbs by a leftist federal government.
HUD announced enforcement of its new 377-page rule called the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule which will allow them to move people from poor crime-ridden areas into “wealthy” suburbs. It was announced by leftist Julian Castro Monday. The rule has force behind it. Federal monies will be withheld and lawsuits accusing residents of racism will be filed. Any town that takes federal funds will be transformed.
It is not only forcing unnecessary racial integration, its forcing class integration and the destruction of the local governments who will officially become satellites of the urban areas. Neighborhoods will be diversified according to income levels. The plan is to make us into a classless society of the type Karl Marx promoted.
With this rule, HUD will have control of zoning, transportation, and education and, in the end, the politics. Just as the leftists took over the cities one-by-one, they will be able to consume the suburbs only at a far more rapid pace. This can be done on a massive, almost immediate scale.
There about 44 million Americans living in the cities and almost 122 million Americans in the suburbs. Suburbia tends to vote against the leftists and has long been a thorn in their side.
Using racism and ecology as excuses, Obama is orchestrating, through HUD and the EPA, the end of local government rule.
They want more “density” in population, the elimination of urban and federal boundaries, and they plan to make every neighborhood “diverse” by spreading the criminals around.
The New York Times had an interesting take, saying this rule will put an end to financial ghettos. What they don’t say is they are doing it by redistributing all resources of suburbia, even residents’ living arrangements by forcing people from the ghettos into “wealthy” suburbia.
We should soon be seeing the environmental laws currently present in liberal areas become a matter of fact for every town in the country. In leftist bastions, even cul-de-sacs are banned by planners.
This has gone under the radar. The media is ignoring it.
Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino has been fighting it in Westchester, which is a test case. Liberal Westchester voted Conservative Astorino into office to stop it. In Westchester, HUD said a quarter-acre lot is discriminatory. They want all limits removed. Your home could end up next to a factory under their plan. Right now zoning rules protect inhabitants but the federal government will take away those protections.
Listen to an explanation by Mr. Astorino: (https://youtu.be/-nC30iixX2Y)
Baltimore County and the entire state of Maryland is currently a test case with the racism argument used as a weapon.
“Smart growth” advocates are forcing dense development in suburban and rural areas to curb suburban growth. They claim the suburbs are stealing jobs and wealth from the urban areas.
The cities have been siphoning tax revenues from the suburbs for years, but this rule takes redistribution much further, it allows the federal government to simply take over.
Stanley Kurtz of National Review Online penned an article back in August, 2012 titled Burn Down the Suburbs? In it, he wrote about Obama and his community organizer mentors who hold the view that the cities suffer because of taxpayer “flight” to the suburbs.
Obama lived that belief as a community organizer. He channeled large sums of money from left-wing Chicago foundations where he served on the Board of Directors to anti-suburban activism.
He allied with one of his original trainers, Mike Kruglik, who has an organization called Building One America. It’s the anti-suburban crusade on steroids. They work with the Obama administration.
Kruglik and his colleagues in the movement have met with Obama in the White House. They literally plan to burn down the suburbs.
The suburbs could easily become the neo-slum complete with crime and poverty. It does undermine the minorities currently living in suburbs who fled the liberal cities that have been crushed under the weight of decades of corruption and bad policies. For example, only 16% of Detroit’s blacks live within the city limits.
Politically, Democrats have become less competitive in the suburbs so they’ve taken the next step. The federal takeover of suburbia will be accompanied by the loss of the American Dream of home ownership, raising oneself up the social and economic ladder, and even the right to own and drive a car. The extreme environmentalists want you out of your car.
LaRaza and other far-left groups strongly backed the rule which will likely end up forcing towns and cities to accept illegal immigrants among other “protected” classes of people.
LaRaza said that “Hispanic families often do not know their housing rights and have cited fear of deportation as reason for not reporting rights violations.” The majority of people who fear deportation are illegal, unskilled, poor, welfare recipients and they are coming into this country in the hundreds of thousands each month.
We see “refugees” from foreign lands being poured into towns and cities throughout the country. When towns resist, they are labeled “pockets of resistance” and the Soros “Welcoming America” groups come in to pressure the local politicians. More information can be found at Refugee Resettlement Watch.
Illegal immigrants and refugees are being used to re-populate areas throughout the country to establish their one-party majority. Many are sent into suburban and rural areas. Their goal is a country within a country of foreigners who will be indoctrinated and eventually be ready to takeover the remaining traditional citizens.
The days when Democrats supported suburbia are long gone and they have launched a full-out war against them without people even knowing it’s happening.
This rule passed two years ago in 2013 but it is only being enforced now because Obama wants to slip it in under the radar.
This is totalitarianism.
I used to know somebody who lived in a middle class suburban neighborhood. He owned about 10 houses on his street. He said as he became more wealthy he bought houses on his street so he could control who lived near him He was very selective who he rented to. Mostly he rented to people from his church.
A small scale landlord such as him, compelled to rent to Section 8 people, might just abandon the properties instead.
Those unable or unwilling to fight invaders are conquered and as the Gaul said to the Roman; ‘Woe to the conquered!”
Of course the ultimate goal is for the government to take over all housing, certainly compelling landlords to drop out would be a huge step towards just that.
Move some into Grosse Pointe for the audacity of voting in Obama.
And don’t forget Ann Arbor.
0b0z0 want Section 8 Nation!
PING!
Flood ‘em into Maryland, which went for 0. Hopefully, I can leave before it gets too bad.
I see many accidental fires of rental properties happening if that's the case.
Maybe they will move me and Mr. GG2 into St Ives. :=)
Pretty much.
The cities will resemble a series of rings within a ring each with different classes of people.
The very center of the city will be strictly for the elites and the outer rings will support the elites lifestyle with their taxes.
All the highbrow entertainments which the elites enjoy will be located in the very center of the city and supported by the outer rings tax money.
Public transportation like toy trains and supported by outer rings tax money, will be located in the inner cities.
A large police presence supported by the outer rings tax money.
The lefts dream of revitalizing the inner cities and making them liberal Utopias where elites want to live has been ongoing for over 50 years and that’s just what I am aware of.
Ping.

The foofarah about Hispanics is just a smokescreen for the real plan to resettle muslim “refugees.”
Last week there was talk from the Senate about withholding funding from sanctuary cities for failing to comply with immigration enforcement laws and I stated on those threads that is a common practice with every federal agency.
This is exactly how the feds (HUD) will force these new “local” planning decisions. They will withhold fed housing aid money and transportation dollars from these cities. This administration and the faceless bureaucracts understands this is how things work but the elected senators and representatives act as if this something new and a one off idea. It’s called the power of the purse!
“0b0z0 want Section 8 Nation!”
0b0z0 want Section 8 Nation!
0h0m0 needs a C-Section for the h0m0 raghead inside!
I predict that you are going to see a lot of HUD construction projects in the suburbs fall prey to mysterious fires, explosions, equipment theft, and a host of other misfortunes.
Particularly in New Jersey, Cleveland, and the other places where the locals know how to get this done (if you get my drift).
"HUD announced enforcement of its new 377-page rule called the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule which will allow them to move people from poor crime-ridden areas into “wealthy” suburbs."
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
There are several major constitutional problems with this official action by HUD. First, the states have never delegated to the corrupt feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for vote-winning, intrastate housing purposes.
Also, even if the states had delegated such powers to the feds, consider this. The Founding States had made the first numbered clauses in the Constitution, Sections 1-3 of Article I, evidently a good place to hide them from Congress, to clarify that all federal legislative powers are vested in the elected members of Congress, not in the executive or judicial branches, or in non-elected government bureaucrats like those running the HUD. So Congress has a constitutional monopoly on federal legislative power whether it wants it or not.
So HUD’s action addressed by this thread is another example of corrupt Congress unconstitutionally camouflaging itself behind a constitutionally unauthorized federal agency in order to exercise powers that Congress doesn’t have in the first place.
Finally, note that if the ill-conceived 17th Amendment had never been ratified then the Senate might have protected 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty by killing all bills that supported the establishment of HUD.
The 17th Amendment needs to disappear, and corrupt senators and constitutionally unauthorized federal agencies like HUD and EPA along with it.
Now, how would we locals know how to do that stuff?
;^)
That’s already being pushed in places like Austin as a regulation against “income discrimination”, saying you can’t refuse tenants who have housing income.
There are likely legal challenges if they pass, because you have to join a government program to become a Section 8 landlord.
So what happens when a tenant says “I have section 8, rent to me”, and the landlord says “I’m not in the section 8 program”? Will HUD now FORCE all landlords to enroll in the program, like we all have to have an Obamacare health insurance plan or pay a fine?
