Obama administration using housing department in effort to diversify neighborhoods
Fox News ^ | August 8, 2013 | Doug McKelway

In a move some claim is tantamount to social engineering, the Department of Housing and Urban Development is imposing a new rule that would allow the feds to track diversity in America’s neighborhoods and then push policies to change those it deems discriminatory.

The policy is called, "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing." It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.

HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan unveiled the federal rule at the NAACP convention in July.

"Unfortunately, in too many of our hardest hit communities, no matter how hard a child or her parents work, the life chances of that child, even her lifespan, is determined by the zip code she grows up in. This is simply wrong,” he said.

Data from this discrimination database would be used with zoning laws, housing finance policy, infrastructure planning and transportation to alleviate alleged discrimination and segregation.

Massachusetts has had an “affirmative housing” law for years.Long story short...my neighborhood,*very* left wing,*very* prosperous Boston suburb (but I’m not rich)...a developer proposed building “affordable housing” on a parcel of idle land.The neighborhood went *ballistic*! “Think of the children”.”It’s unsafe”.”It would damage the environment”.
I kid you not.

It didn’t get built.

It will now, if Donovan/obama has his/their way. HAHAHAAA stupid liberals, it is about time you get what you want to foist on “the other people”.

Beedy eyed gov king cuomo of NY ran hud under clinton here is another fine piece of dog doo. These devious cretans want to change good neighborhoods into thier excellent accompishements like Jersey city, camden, newark brownsville, east newyork, the south bronx, compton. They experiment on us, let them move thier diverse crowd into thier not so diverse neighborhoods.

Beedy eyed gov king Cuomo and Klintoon were instrumental in the financial bust of 2007—2012. They decreed that “all should own a home”. It didn’t matter if they could afford the payments let alone a down payment, so they strong armed the banks and such so that down payments were not required and credit checks weren’t either, then they dreamed up “interest only loans”. That was a good one, the dummies that fell for that thought that in 2 or 3 years they could re-finance and get a conventional loan.............WRONG. The bottom fell out because nobody could pay their mortgages, because they never should have been given one in the first place. It will now happen again, because, the next step Shaun/obama will take is to tell the banks to give loans to folks that don’t deserve them and can’t pay them back. Another bust for America’s financial system, brought to you by the demoncraptic party.

While the smartest people on the conservative sit were sitting on their asses being the most intelligent people in the room, the libs took over the government.

“America. A place where the government will ENSURE that you CANNOT live in a nice neighborhood.”

That’s the way I see it too. WTF how in the world will they be able to ensure that a certain amount of “minorities” live in all neighborhoods? I’m sorry to say but it will be through reverse discrimination. If not enough of a certain race can afford the big houses in certain wealthy suburbs what are they gonna do make a family who wants to sell their home wait 5 fricking years until the “right” people can buy it? This policy, however they plan to execute it, is anti-American and anti-Freedom. THIS IS NOT A SOCIALIST COUNTRY you rat politicians! Out of control is what they are.

No. You and I will pay additional taxes and protected groups (minorities) will be given huge subsidies to move into evil white “folks’” neighborhoods.

As to living in, around, or near any major metro area because that’s where your job is, you are spot on correct. What these policies will ultimately do is end residential real estate as a wealth building/savings device. They do that because they don’t want people to be able to create wealth.

Kinda strange when you think about it.

Be sure to include Chris Matthews gated community.

Unfortunately, the elite 1 or 2 percent will have their own enclaves.

“Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing.” It will require HUD to gather data on segregation and discrimination in every single neighborhood and try to remedy it.

Just returned from a meeting concerning this weekend`s block party. We have committment from over 30 homeowners to respond to any future polls, census, inquiries etc that we are ALL blackhypenatedafricanamericans. SO we have sufficient Huddites and will require not adjustments.

Will whites be force-marched into Detroit at gunpoint?

Just think how well Harlem and every Chinatown in this country will like this.
