This is called "the magic dirt" theory. The MDT states that simply by placing impoverished people in rich areas, the impoverished people will then experience financial riches and educational gains just like the people in the rich areas.

The people who live in the rich areas are benefiters of magic dirt or soil. Simply by where they live, they have found immense wealth and other goodies. The MDT states that that's unfair to poor people who don't live in magic dirt areas.

<>In June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that federal housing law allows people to challenge zoning laws and other housing practices that have a “disparate” or harmful impact on minority groups, even if there is no proof that the discrimination was intentional.<>

Good grief, how many more outrages are needed to convince otherwise thinking people that their sovereignty has been stolen? Neither congress nor scotus have a constitutional or natural law power to force racial integration.

We are no longer self-governing. Five oligarchs in scotus and a muslim illegally push around 320+ millions.

But hey, just STFU and keep voting.

...“Every person deserves a fair shot at opportunity, and that starts with a decent, safe, and affordable place to call home,” HUD Secretary Julián Castro said in the March 15 announcement...

What about my right to a decent and safe place to call home?

When the government moves a bunch of ghetto dwellers of any color next door to me they bring their crime with them. My nice suburban neighborhood becomes a smorgasbord of theft opportunities, eliminating my safety, and stealing my property's value.

Property taxes need to be by number of rooms.

A house with nine rooms might pay $2,700/year in tax. A house with five rooms might pay $1,500/year in tax.

The newcomers should pay close to their fair share.

If they get equal schooling, they should pay equal school taxes.

The best houses in the Baltimore area are pretty much all in Baltimore City.

About half of the best houses in the Detroit area are in Detroit itself.

Detroit went to being one of the nicest cities in the USA (1880’s) to the most affluent large city (1950) to what it is today.

Quality obviously didn’t trickle down.

“The House voted 229-193 for a measure that prevents HUD from implementing the Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation.”

“People will just move.”

Why bother? Consumer goods are so cheap that houses really aren’t worth breaking into anymore.

My 40-inch TV is maybe worth $200.

My bread machine cost $15 from Goodwill.

People want peace and quiet.

If that is disrupted, they leave.

NO! Do not do it!

“Affordable” in liberal lexicon means substandard. Tehy are attempting to spread poverty around for their political gain.

Here in Florida, if land is zoned for twelve units an acre, builders will put in what they call villas.

In the 1960’s, builders would have built garden apartments.

The real estate types know how to milk the buying public.

I can tolerate rap music.

Do these folks like opera? I do. They had better.

There are practical reasons for this; like the Quartering Act that preceded the American Revolution, taxpayers are being forced to quarter (and school) their fair share of Welfarians. The government at various levels is running out of money to fund them, so they are squeezing the funds at the most basic level: the municipality. The fact that it also dilutes taxpayer votes is a fringe benefit of the plan.

For decades property owners in NJ refused/avoided Section 8 tenants (for the reasons you mention); now that we have lost so many jobs, those same owners want to take them in just to get the monthly check. Make no mistake, this Greater Depression has been devastating for the northeast, and there is no end in sight. Many property owners can either have their rental properties foreclosed or take in Welfarians; the mobile tenants they had with marketable private sector skills are fleeing the region in droves.
