Maryland "Freak State" PING!
Posted on 07/21/2015 10:37:13 AM PDT by Sopater
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’m sure you all have certain people who know how to get “stuff.”

I thought it only applied if your locality takes Federal money. On another thread the HUD announcement was posted and it explicitly stated that this was only possible due to the authorities granted by accepting various Federal monies.
However THIS article says discrimination lawsuits will be used as well. Meaning that the only thing possibly in it’s path is the 5-4 majority on the Supreme Court. Possibly, given Anthony Kennedy helped open this can of worms with his vote on that disparate impact case.
Cruz has said that the first thing he wants to do is repeal Obamacare. That won’t be enough. He would need to repeal the entire previous 8 years. Every law, Executive Order, and regulation that has come out of this administration needs to get the ax. Pretty much every SCOTUS decision too. While at it, every SCOTUS appointment. Maybe he would just need Hillary’s reset button.
There might be an easier way than resorting to arson and destruction.
Someone willing to take the associated legal risks (note, I’m pointing this out, not encouraging or advocating for it) could transplant some endangered species to any land designated for future high density projects. Then invite the ecowarriors in to shut it down.
BFLR
I’m sure “conservatives” like John Kasich will be along at any time to explain why they’re willing to go along with this plan, rather than turn off the federal spigot to their states and municipalities.
I would bet my left tit that all suburbs affected will be Republican-leaning districts only. This is about diluting the GOP voting bloc. Oh, and exacerbating racial tensions which is what Obungo is all about.
I tend to side with you in that the ‘money’ persons want to establish their fun time domiciles where their money is. It will take a makeover to match such with the already privileged people of in the likes of Beverly Hills and Kennebunkport(?).
That’s part of the reason for moving the trash out of the cities to the suburbs, it frees up a lot of land for development.
I remember from 40-50 years ago seeing in magazines the plans for “revitalized” cities that liberal eggheads had drawn up and how they described how the very heart of the city would be set up.
A lot of the eggheads were into the population explosion BS and how we would need to take advantage of every square foot of land.
Single family homes would be replaced with high rise apartments to handle the increased population.
People would live right near where they worked.
That’s where the idea of the city being made up of rings within rings. The more space the business where you worked required the further out from the center of the city you would live because there was more space for your business.
The elites would live in the very center of the city because they only require office space to work.
My parents live in a city neighborhood that is maybe a mile as the crow flies from downtown.
A very modest two-bedroom house down the street (the late owner was a plumber of very modest means) just sold to some young urban gentrifying elitist transplants for $224,000!
No native Pittsburgher would have paid a cent over $70K for that house.
So your theory may be proving true. Elites, with more money than brains. Willing to over-over pay to be in the “right” zipcode.
A friend of mine sells real estate in Austin, TX.
He said the same thing is happening there.
Blacks are being forced out of their neighborhood because they can no longer afford the taxes. They can sell or loose the property to the tax man.
What he’s found to be the most bazar thing about people from the northeast, mainly NY, is how many have asked him where they can buy a slave.
The first couple of times someone asked him where they could buy a slave he thought they were joking then he realized they weren’t joking.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
They should start with the suburbs in Virginia (near d.c.) - then east coast wealthy (and mostly liberal) areas, and they need to enforce this in Malibu and Beverly Hills...
