An African-American millionaire can buy a home in any expensive suburb. Color is no longer a barrier. Despite this progress, President Obama's Department of Housing and Urban Development is accusing expensive towns of racism, simply because most minorities can't afford to live there.
Westchester County, N.Y., has struggled since 2009 under a plan by a federal monitor to compel the county to comply with HUD's demands for multiunit affordable housing in expensive areas. Hillary Clinton claims to be a warrior against inequality.
But her adopted hometown of Chappaqua, an upscale Westchester village that one resident describes as "a little piece of heaven," is battling HUD's demands. The legal war in Hillary's backyard is a preview.
The Obama administration is pulling out all the stops to launch a legal and regulatory assault on suburbs nationwide. HUD's soon-to-be-released regulation, in the works since 2013, will compel affluent suburbs to build more high-density, low-income housing, plus, of course, sewers, water lines, bus routes and other changes needed to support it.
All in the name of housing "fairness."
Obama's social engineers will eliminate local zoning, such as one-acre minimum lots, to achieve what the HUD rule calls "inclusive communities." Property values be damned.
If you've worked hard to afford a home in an affluent neighborhood of single-family houses, you have a lot to lose under this HUD plan.

Do as I say, not as I do. Bro.
Defund HUD.
Problem solved.
The solution is simple. We bought 32 acres in central KY. Our nearest neighbor is several hundred yards away.
Agenda 21. Sigh.
Seems to me (and probably others here) that he launched a war on decent, civil society upon assuming the Presidency.
During the Clinton administration HUD proceeded with plans to open a home for various sorts in a Berkeley, Calif. neighborhood. The neighbors objected strenuously and peacefully.
Roberta Achtenberg of Clinton's HUD launched investigations of citizens of Berkeley, Calif. who had opposed HUD proposals with letter-writing, pamphleteering or other forms of peaceful protest. Achtenberg ordered the protesters to turn over diaries, phone messages and other personal papers. She threatened to fine the protesters $50,000.
If memory serves a federal judge cleared the way for bureaucrats and Ms Achtenberg herself, personally, to be held accountable and open to legal action.
I did not read much of the document but I do recall reading that the decisions left bureaucrats open to be personally responsible for their actions on the job and they could be sued as individuals.
For example the court wrote, "When government officials violate citizens' clearly established First Amendment rights, however, we will not apply the doctrine of qualified immunity to defeat a remedy of damages to which the citizens are entitled under Bivens." I did not research Bivens. para #92
Another FReeper did know about Bivens and posted this reply
The point as I see it is resist peacefully and if your inalienable rights are violated sue the government employees.
Can we ever reach a point where we say, that life is unfair, and that there are limits to what we can do to ensure liberal standards of fairness or equality???
Or is communism and equality with all of us equal at a very low level the end game for these leftists???
Sad to say, if you get too many section 8 residents in an area, formerly nice residential areas go ghetto.
Drugs, crime, prostitution and murder coming to a home near you! Ain’t it great?
Katy, TX/far West Houston is turning into apartment city. No doubt many of these units will/already qualify for HUD assistance. Guess what? The crime rate has increased, noticeably, in the last several months :(
Turning America into Detroit
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”
Sound familiar?
I really want to see HUD force anyone in my area build federal ghetto's and duplexes for the Mexican Nationals who break into our Country and then demand we “respect” them!
Now that will be extremely amusing to watch!
Here’s a novel idea, have obozzo build his presidential library on the south side of Chicago, in the middle of the slums, without tearing any down.
President Obama is not welcome in my white-flight suburban bedroom community home...Not because he identifies as being black, but by his being a flaming assh*le.
FUBO!!!
try to include everybody and you include nobody
Just another Marxist move on the part of the one.
This process has been a long time coming I’m old enough to remember the first apartments being built on fry road in Nottingham county over the vocal opposition of the neighborhood. These apartments brought a whole slew of unsavory children into our largely white and affluent KISD schools fights soon became a regular issue at James E Taylor between the affluent single family home kids and the trash from the apartments.
Obama will be gone by the time this is litigated and he loses
