HUD Secretary Pushes Infrastructure Package to Federalize Local Zoning Laws, Displace Single-Family Homes in Suburbs
breitbart.com ^ | 7/9/2021 | Wendell Husabo

The Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Marcia Fudge pushed the Democrats’ trojan horse infrastructure package Friday, as it contains provisions to federalize local zoning laws to displace single-family homes in the suburbs.

NBC News reports the infrastructure package “is billed as an investment in the country that would rebuild infrastructure like crumbling roads and bridges and create millions of jobs.”

But in reality, Fudge says the package will be utilized to “make sure that fair housing is once again the law of the land” by implementing the destruction of the suburbs via a measure within the package called the “HOMES Act,” which attempts to put the federal government in charge of local zoning laws to change local demographics, impacting the already purple voting districts.

“Now, the jobs plan is probably taking more of my time than most, because we’re trying to convince people who are still living in the past that housing is infrastructure,” Fudge told NBC News about the plan to change the already purple suburbs to blue.

Fudge told USA Today in April, “The result of this sort of investment will be critical to increasing housing options for low- and moderate-income families.”

According to the provision in the infrastructure package, if a local government does not comply with federal zoning guidelines, including “ordinances that ban apartment buildings from certain residential areas or set a minimum lot size for a single-family home,” HUD will cease funding to that city – funding all cities need for their current low-income housing.

“So it’s just important that we start to do the things that HUD is required to do to make sure that fair housing is once again the law of the land,” Fudge told NBC News.

Here’s a snippet of ‘their’ comments:

A house with a white picket fence and a big backyard for a Fourth of July barbecue may be a staple of the American dream, but experts and local politicians say multifamily zoning is key to combating climate change, racial injustice and the nation’s growing affordable housing crisis.

You cannot federalize local zoning. The rate they’re going they’re going to need those nukes and F-15s.

Mark Levin has spoken about how the Democrat party has been pushing for this endlessly for the last 4 years. He has PRECISELY targeted this tactic and here it is coming to fruition. Levin can really see things in the playbook and call it out years in advance.

What we have to look forward to.

You’ll pay for their housing. They will get it “free”, compliments of you. Don’t complain about the BLM signs that you pass as you drive to work to pay taxes that go to your new neighbors so they can shoot drugs, drink beer, and foul the environment.
And they’ll hate you. Post something about it and your “woke” company will fire you.

And that snipit is just part of it. The real reason for this BS is to coral people in areas where it is easier to control them. Americans who don’t want to live in cities and want to live on their own land are too independent for what the leftists want for this country.

Anyone seeing the word "displace" troubling in that sentence?

Websters definition.
Displace definition is - to remove from the usual or proper place; specifically : to expel or force to flee from home or homeland

I don't think the commies are talking just planting apartments in the burbs, more like bulldoze your housing area and then planting apartments.
