The goal of "fair housing" would seem to be quite straightforward. As spelled out in the Fair Housing Act of 1968 — and found in realtors’ offices across the country — it precludes "discrimination in the sale, rental and financing of dwellings … based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex (including gender identity and sexual orientation), familial status, and disability." In other words, those who can afford to rent or buy should not be precluded from doing so for reasons having nothing to do with the ability to pay.
But for the Biden administration’s Department of Housing and Urban Development, fair housing is more — much more. In proposed regulations that would touch any jurisdiction that accepts any sort of HUD funding, fair housing must mean a plan to "promote equity in their communities, decrease segregation, and increase access to opportunity and community assets for people of color and other underserved communities."
Translated that means that the route to upward mobility for disadvantaged minorities lies through their relocation to more affluent communities, where they will no longer be "underserved."
Racial discrimination in housing is pernicious. For Washington to invoke it to socially engineer neighborhoods across America is dangerous.

“Opinion: Biden’s latest whack at the suburbs will change your neighborhood for the worse”
To anyone who sits out elections because their Republicans are not ‘pure enough’ for them - here’s what you get (along with WW3). Happy now? Did your ‘message’ to the GOP get through yet?
We all know the headline should read “Obama” instead of “Biden”. It’s Team Obama pulling the puppet strings here and they’ve been going after the suburbs for a long time under the guise of “affirmatively furthering fair housing”. Team Obama particularly hates the middle class and wants them to suffer.
Will they also move the welfare offices to the richer suburbs too? Otherwise we’ll hear whining about having to take buses back downtown.
Let’s Go Brandon! **** Joe Xiden!
"If you whites are going to fly, we'll just bring the 'hood to you!"
Did this in my neighborhood. Quietly and very quickly, a slew of "low-income" apartments popped up. Of course, the schools weren't big enough for all the new students so now there's several mobile home-style classrooms on school grounds to accommodate everyone, a student body that is now 50% black.
And we've got gunshots now (occasionally fatal), and robberies, and sideshows, and all the other joys of diverse cultural enrichment.
And..this is only step 1.
One day, when the process is near complete, the government will transform before our eyes into the real monster it is intended to be. Then, God help us.

How can you have “those” people move into posh white neighborhoods?
Why, there would be more lynchings that one could keep up with.
What makes you think the elite Republicans don’t support this as well?
My neighborhood is pretty much dot Indians, so I guess I don’t have anything to worry about.
Buy more ammo
Elizabeth Warren wrote a book in 2004 called THE TWO INCOME TRAP. This was 8 years before she ran for election to the Senate and was a professor at this point in her life. She noted in 1970 50% of household income was disposable vs. only 25% in 2000. The book was her investigation into why. The conclusion was two basic reasons. One was higher taxes. The second was higher housing costs. The housing costs were pushed higher she said by segregation. This specific segregation was caused by the lack of good public schools. Home buyers overwhelming want good schools and the relative lack of such pushes housing prices up.
This is using census data that is now two decades old, but I suspect the trend has only gotten worse as public schools continue to fail and get worse imo. Pushing low income families into every community would be 1) expensive as housing is naturally expensive in certain communities over others. and 2) would negatively affect the good schools as lower quality students would be part of the school population. Facts are facts and kids from broken homes do worse in school than kids from intact families. And low income housing would overwhelmingly comprise such families.
IMO the better way to help the most ppl would be to have school vouchers. Then housing prices wouldn’t have to be artificially high in the areas with good school, because good schools would be readily available to everyone. And low income families could choose where to live on other criteria than how to avoid gang ridden failing schools.
My hood turned to shit back when obumfuk paid all the ghetto trash to move out to the burbs... And I’m reminded of it every single day by the amount of road side litter all over the fkn place. Absolutely disgusting...
Yep,
Already started. First-time home buyers that currently live in “underserved” areas (read-census tracts) qualify for monetary incentives ($$ towards closing/DP) when purchasing homes ANYWHERE.
These specific census tracts are located in/around:
Atlanta
Baltimore
Chicago
Detroit
Memphis
Philly
But, they will have to be able to work/get a job where they relocate and qualify credit/asset wise.
Democrats look for the ball to move down the field to their goal and could can less about who carries the ball.
“What makes you think the elite Republicans don’t support this as well?”
Who knows with some Republicans, but we know, FOR SURE, that any Democrat will rubber-stamp this crap, so it’s best to play the odds.
“Republicans look at the candidate which Democrats try to use the politics of personal destruction to defeat.”
Yep, and the biggest of those was Roy Moore in a state that Trump won be at least 20 points and who would have been an EXCELLENT SENATOR, but enough Republicans said “his past sickens me”...as if that would have anything to do with his future votes. The problem that many Republicans have is that they confuse a politician with a babysitter - news for you guys: THEY ARE NOT THE SAME, so don’t set the same rules for them.
This too.
These people chuck their trash everywhere. Walking or driving down the street, eating fast food, just toss their trash on the pavement without a second thought.
And I'm too much of a p*ssy to say anything out of fear of winding up in a news story that has a cycle of exactly five minutes.
