Robert Reich, who worked as former President Bill Clinton’s secretary of labor, is making an effort to block the imposition of Democrat-style diversity on his upscale suburb.
Reich’s hidden identity as a “NIMBY” — Not In My Back Yard — was revealed when emails surfaced to the Landmark Preservation Commission regarding the fate of the Payson House in Berkeley, California.
The email also came to light as the Trump administration repealed a regulation put in place by former President Barack Obama to diversify neighborhoods — mainly more affluent suburbs with single-family homes — by incorporating low-income housing.
As Breitbart News reported, a recent poll shows that 83 percent of American voters oppose the government telling people where to live. The same Rasmussen poll showed that the split by party in opposing government’s enforced diversity is not so disparate — 39 percent of Republicans oppose it, while 32 percent of Democrats are against it.
And Reich, apparently, is among those Democrats, according to his letter to the commission, which said in part:
My wife and I moved into our house at 1230 Bonita Avenue, two doors down from the Payson House, fourteen years ago. One reason we moved into the area was the abundance of older homes dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, offering the charm of an older era of Berkeley, along with the lovely Codornices Creek that runs through the neighborhood.

The type of guy that thinks OTHER PEOPLE should be hosting the homeless at their house.
Reich doesn’t want the inner-city crowd to follow the yellow brick road.
Well, of course he is......he’s a damn Demonrat isn’t he???
"Leftist" is a bit of an understatement.
As is economist !
Agitate, extract money as a life purpose.
Robert Reich is a poisonous milignant dwarf. He was outspokenly opposed to any of 0bama’s stimulus money being paid to white guys.
All around little fellow.
Basic liberal bigot.
Ask Biden, is this guy black?
This is not hidden or in any way unusual. ALL libs are NIMBY. ALL.
LOL! Well heck yeah. I’ll let those POC know where it’s best for them to live.
Biden thinks your neighborhood needs hoodlums.
Embrace the suck, Robert Reich, you Democrat hypocrite.
All white liberal ‘elite’ neighborhoods should have forced diversity... and a ton load of recent illegals.
Maybe a six story subsidized apartment building for illegals, recently released criminals and others who would grow from being around the white liberal elite upper crust - AND the ‘elites’ children and grandchildren...
That “Diversity for thee, none for me” thing has to stop.

Screw YOU Robert Reich...
He sure is short tempered.
I wonder what number Reich is?
Fourth or fifth?
The ONLY standard for the libtards is a double one.
Especially the little tiny squeeky lib arts friends of the old child boinker in Chief.
not many people can fit in the shire..
