The Obama administration is moving forward with regulations designed to help diversify America’s wealthier neighborhoods, drawing fire from critics who decry the proposal as executive overreach in search of an “unrealistic utopia.”

A final Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) rule due out this month is aimed at ending decades of deep-rooted segregation around the country.

long-standing practices that prevent people from living where they want to.”

Like not wanting to work hard? Nothing is stopping anybody from living in any neighborhood except a lack of money. Or should I be given a voucher to live in Malibu or next door to Obama's Hawaii mansion, just because I "want to" live there and am "prevented" by not having enough money?

I think he wants more ill-mannered black youths shot by pudgy middle-aged white men.

Civil rights advocates, meanwhile, are praising the plan, arguing that it is needed to break through decades-old barriers that keep poor and minority families trapped in hardscrabble neighborhoods.
