Racism task force seeks return of displaced people to gentrified areas (Austin TX)
My Statesman ^ | 4-4-2017 | Elizabeth Findell

Posted on 04/11/2017 5:52:46 PM PDT by brucedickinson

The report recommends raising $600 million for affordable housing by implementing a “linkage fee” on developers of $2 per square foot of new construction. It also asks the city to use public-owned property to build homes for low income, minority, former East Austin residents who want to return and allow housing including mobile homes or tiny homes on the land.

• Granting one-time-only homeowner tax payment assistance;

• Hiring minority teachers at a school in clusters, for inclusivity, and giving them a housing allowance or designated housing;

• Hiring a liaison to build links between schools, nonprofits and small businesses;

• Publishing annual assessments

600 million $ for:

"Incentivizing the eradication of institutionally racist iconography and “build up alternative, inclusive narratives"

I guess for 600 million, they can build that giant General Thade monument they've always wanted

“Gentrification” in Los Angeles means white people are buying old houses in black neighborhoods and fixing them up. Turning eyesores into beautiful houses is now a bad thing.

This is being done NATIONALLY by HUD.

They are using foreclosed houses for Section 8.

They have ‘race maps’ and are targeting to break up white areas. Basically, taxpayer funded genocide.

Or, lets say we just do nothing and watch them do nothing to fix their decrepit neighborhoods because they put all their money up their noses, around their necks, in their stomachs, and on their pimped out rides.

They take care of things for absolute sh1t and expect everyone else to be their wallet/parent.

Its a ferm they use to try to shame people not in their community, that are able to come into their areas and atually make them nice despite the folks who live there and have done zero-squat to make it a safer, better place.

Embedding the predators amongst the prey.

Lemme know when the Section 8 housing goes up in Beverly Hills and Bel Air.

So how can this work? If people buy properties they have to let it stay a ghetto? But if they can’t fix up the property for themselves why would they buy it in the first place?? I’m lost on this liberal logic.

It worked in the sixties with "Urban Renewal", why would an old dog learn new tricks when the old ones still get it a reward?

The liberal logic is, “Screw whitey.”

Got it?

Trailers. Tiny houses. Shipping containers. Cardboard boxes.

Sounds like they are trying to reconstruct a fake Brazillian slum.
