The Department of Housing and Urban Development has proposed a new plan to change U.S. neighborhoods it says are racially imbalanced or are too tilted toward rich or poor, arguing the country's housing policies have not been effective at creating the kind of integrated communities the agency had hoped for.
The proposed federal rule, called "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing," is currently under a 60-day public comment period. Though details of how the policy would specifically work are unclear, the rule says HUD would provide states, local governments and others who receive agency money with data and a geospatial tool to look at "patterns of integration and segregation; racially and ethnically concentrated areas of poverty; access to education, employment, low-poverty, transportation, and environmental health."
States would then assess the best way to integrate communities deemed by HUD's data to not be integrated enough. A HUD official, who did not want to speak on record because of the public comment period, said the rule hopes to better match up HUD-assisted housing with the communities that have good hospitals, schools and other assets.
The move has been welcomed by civil rights groups including the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, whose senior director of the economic department Dedrick Muhammad says the policy could result in more access to economic resources for minorities.
"It's not just having people of different colors live together just to do so," he says. "African-Americans and Latinos are more likely to live in segregated communities, that are predominantly lower income, have less strong public resources, less schools and educational opportunities, employment opportunities. This kind of integration strengthens economic equality."

This link will take you to what I believe is the official regulations.gov public comment section:

In simple terms, "more of Whitey's money to hand out to Blacks".
What else is new?
Rural properties are about to skyrocket.
We are all renters...
“he Department of Housing and Urban Development has proposed a new plan to change U.S. neighborhoods it says are racially imbalanced or are too tilted toward rich or poor”
Oh gosh, they’re going to integrate communities that are too “poor?” Reverse bussing? 1/3 of all public projects must be set aside for rich (white?) people?
Fat chance.
This is why I refused to answer certain questions on the census forms. RACE American
Let’s see HUD move more of Eric Holder’s people into the Hamptons and Manhattan. Or is this central planning going to be foisted on Middle Class suburbs, as usual. Some animals are more equal than others, as is the case where Congress and their staffs are declared exempt from ObamaCare by order of the king.
One of these days the last straw will have broken the camel’s back.
Oh, that explains the obama cronies who got that taxpayer funded megaufund going to buy foreclosed houses, entire neighborhoods in some cases
they houses gonna be turned over to the underserved as perpetual tenants
cause we all know you can make someone middle class by giving them a middle class house in a middle class neighborhood and sending fatherless feral children to middle class schools
Hey GOP....you gonna FUND this crap?
So, how will this work? We will be forcibly evicted from our homes or apartments? Then moved into a ghetto of the governments choice. Will the affluent areas i.e. Hamptons, Beverly Hills, Park Avenue be exempted by Executive Order from The One?
I moved WAY OUT away from the city of Chitcago to get as far away as possible from the "urban youths" that cause nothing but trouble, and now some government bureaucrat thinks where I live is "too white" and wants to FORCE via law those same "urban youths" onto the nice, clean, relatively crime-free area in which I live?
No. Not just no but HELL NO. If they try, I can pretty much guarantee there's gonna be a whole lotta Trayvon Martin's happening. Just sayin'.....
HUD should start with the following least integrated neighborhoods with concentrations of wealthy liberals: Martha’s Vineyard, Hyannis Port and Brookline in Massachusetts; the Upper West Side in Manhattan and the Hamptons on Long Island; Greenwich, CT; Bel Air and Beverly Hills in LA; Marin County outside San Francisco; and the heart of Princeton, NJ. They won’t.
You should have told them you were a native American, you know, like Liz Warren.
Eric Holder may finally realize his dream to end the “voluntarily socially segregated” life-style that we Americans have chosen.
The great social-engineers at work again to end our ability to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
HUD doesn’t like the concentration camps produced by cities with decades of single, ‘rat party rule?
In related news, yesterday the Obama Administration announced a new "medicine cabinet tax" on Aspirin. Their reasoning: "it's white and it works."
Well my goodness, they need to get started on the worst offenders right away.
The Hamptons, Malibu, all those “gentrified” neighborhoods in DC, where the black folks at? Subsidize them, move their poor deprived selves right into those seven figure properties, courtesy of the dwindling taxpayer.
The thing that I don’t quite follow is, do these people believe that “white” will rub off on the subsidized transplants, thereby improving them? Racist.
Or, is it somehow punitive because somebody dared to associate freely in choice of resisdences without consulting the racial bean counters? Racist too.
