Only if your suburb take federal money
All now your base must consider the real cost of free money
Is a bigger library or unpgraded curbs and sidewalks worth having to build section 8 apartments, bus stops and basketball courts?
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!
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.
