A while back we discussed a proposed plan which Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was preparing to roll out. The goal was apparently to use public funds to impose a bit more “diversity” on neighborhoods by improving lower income neighborhood properties while mandating more low cost, public housing in wealthier areas. The response around here was, shall we say, less than enthusiastic, but hey… this is just one small corner of the interwebs, right? Perhaps the rest of the nation sees this as a wonderful opportunity and an idea whose time has come round at last.
Let’s check in with Rasmussen and see where the rest of our fellow citizens are coming down.
With the Department of Housing and Urban Development ready to release new regulations meant to diversify wealthy neighborhoods, American voters overwhelmingly say that it is not the government’s job to try to bring those of different income levels to live together.

Imagine that?
Who cares? It will be rammed down their throats.
Spike Lee’s Amazing Rant Against Gentrification: ‘We Been Here!’

I will go along with this as long as the residents of Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and West Los Angeles California get their beloved minorities living right in their midst.
Some neighborhoods are more equal than others.
Libs will hate it and STILL vote democrat!
They tried that decades ago. People moved out and created suburbs.
Every time they try something like this, more private gated communities spring up.
But they never learn. No matter how big a failure, they come back and try again a few decades later.
Maybe we could see where SCOTUS stands on this?
There was a Supreme Court decision this week, overshadowed by marriage and Obamacare, on this subject. The decision of the court seems to give green lights to housing discrimination lawsuits and remedies based on “disparate impact”, even if the intention was not to discriminate. Stay tuned.
We’ve already seen some nice suburban areas go ghetto due to locating too many Section 8 residents in such areas.
Where will we all move to, if forced integration becomes a reality? Will those who can afford it go live on a farm somewhere, apart from the Section 8 residents???
There was a Supreme Court case this week on this. Overshadowed by Obamacare and marriage. I want to see what that ruling states. News reports were that it gives green lights to lawsuits based on disparate impact, rather than intentional discrimination.
We’re not big on Sodomite Marriage either, but who’s going to stop either?
Supreme Court vs. Neighborhood Segregation
In a surprising move on Thursday, the United States’ highest court ruled that policies even inadvertently relegating minorities to poor areas violate the Fair Housing Act.
In writing the majority opinion, Justice Kennedy acknowledged that the disparate-impact standard has worked to combat systemic discrimination. “Much progress remains to be made in our Nation’s continuing struggle against racial isolation,” Kennedy wrote. “In striving to achieve our ‘historic commitment to creating an integrated society,’ we must remain wary of policies that reduce homeowners to nothing more than their race. But since the passage of the Fair Housing Act in 1968 and against the backdrop of disparate-impact liability in nearly every jurisdiction, many cities have become more diverse. The FHA must play an important part in avoiding the Kerner Commission’s grim prophecy that ‘our Nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white—separate but equal.’”
Yup. Eventually Ginsburg, Kagan, Sotomayor, Breyer and Kennedy will imperiously point their crooked fingers and say You Must Be Punished for your success! A Revenge class will be imposed on you, and they will persecute you mercilessly in your own neighborhood!
Private Property will be the ultimate prize of this Communist Court.
That was always the goal of the Looters.
yep, I remember the “white flight” talk years ago. Blacks complained that whites moved away, and the people left behind were mostly minorities. The talk was that integration never happened because whites moved away.
There was never talk about how crime and gang activity and other elements of the black community drove away blacks too, who could afford to live elsewhere.
Diversity is another word for slavery.
One is not free if one has to be ‘diverse’
up next, they'll declare zoning laws racist
Let’s just mix a little excrement into this fine stew, nobody will notice.
The last thing anybody in this neighborhood wants is those section 8 criminals living amongst us. We all squeak by trying to pay for houses while the government throws money down a bottomless hole of welfare.
