5) Malibu, CA
6) Brookline, MA
7) South Hampton, NY
8) Sag Harbor, NY

I was going to add Greenwich, CT but they actually have govt. housing there. A guy in my office grew up in that Government Housing back in the 1960’s/70’s. It was literally separated by a fence from what today are multimillion dollar homes on the north side of I-95. About two miles to the south was where the Bushs, Skakels and Martha Moxley lived. He literally was one of the poorest kids in town. He was a caddie at the GCC.

We have to go back to the concept of meritocracy in everything. We are rewarding bad behavior and punishing good behavior in many different ways. Didn’t any of these people take Psych 101? Behaviorism is the basic building block upon which all the more complex schools of psychology must rest—even Freudian, which came earlier. It’s like a simple math concept. You can’t jump to the sophisticated ideas without understanding the basic one.

Bingo!! They couldn’t get the voter ID Law repealed in TX, so they’re just going to populate the conservative strongholds with low-income housing. Voila! Problem “solved”.

Judges make most of our laws.

Judges have overturned laws that made marriage a union between two people of opposite sexes, voter identification, illegal alien sanctuary, abortion, free speech and freedom of expression, zoning laws, right to work laws, the three strikes law, criminal deportation laws, climate change, H1-B visa laws, imminent domain laws, and everything else.

Other laws are fatwas issued by mayors, governors, the president and unelected people in government agencies such as DHS, DOJ, EPA, NLRB, IRS, ICE, ATF, BLM, FDA, and US Chamber of Commerce.

The “Guide to the Federal Rulemaking Process” published by the Office of the Federal Register specifies agencies “get their authority to issue regulations from laws (statutes) enacted by Congress.”
The guide states further:

In some cases, the President may delegate existing Presidential authority to an agency. Typically, when Congress passes a law to create an agency, it grants that agency general authority to regulate certain activities within our society. Congress may also pass a law that more specifically directs an agency to solve a particular problem or accomplish a certain goal.

An agency must not take action that goes beyond its statutory authority or violates the Constitution. Agencies must follow an open public process when they issue regulations, according to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). This includes publishing a statement of rulemaking authority in the Federal Register for all proposed and final rules

Just notice that the media has suppressed this news. They want it to be a surprise when your innocent 10 year old daughter is found behind a dumpster.
This is $h!tface’s worst act of hatred for this country.

I went to high school and college in Tempe, AZ and lived there for over 30 years. About 10-12 years ago, just a block or two from the high school, they built some Section 8 housing. Within 6 months, the crime rate had tripled in the neighborhoods surrounding the housing. The new housing looked great from the outside for about 6 months but then signs could be seen of neglect, deferred maintenance, and trash littering the property. The insides were trashed and filthy.

The high school where I graduated, down the street from this housing, went from number one in the city academically to last of five schools. There were gangs on campus and fights all the time.

A Walgreens drugstore was on the corner in a little strip center, about a block from the housing. The place became the target of robberies and break-ins almost immediately, sometimes as high as 8-10 a month. People would loiter around the front door begging for change from the customers. The management was always chasing them off. The police were there regularly. Eventually they closed and pulled out of the neighborhood because of the never-ending problems.

I finally moved out myself to Florida because I retired and didn't want to live in the big city with these kinds of problems.

If the government is successful in this push to integrate low income housing into pricier neighborhoods, the entire place will go to sh*t because the Left's utopian vision is to have everybody living in the same squalid conditions. Where the next "white, middle-class" flight will be to is a mystery to me. I've found mine in rural Florida, raising beef cattle. Little crime and squalid conditions around here. Poor, yes. But not crime-ridden.

People (the rest of us who are not black) don't want to live with blacks because of the way they act.

It has has nothing to do with the color of skin - many from India are darker - same with Hispanics and Asians. Blacks are the only racial group that as a group ignores the feelings of other... from loud music, to cleaning their cars by tossing garbage out the window, to thin-skinned angry responses to being 'dissed'. Then there's the criminal issues...

No other racial group acts like blacks... Not as a group.

The black community needs to look at themselves and ask why even blacks (when they become middle class) don't want to live with blacks... It's a culture issue and it stated in the 60's....

One of my sisters lives in a town where they have 2 acre minimum. They do not want that tightly packed housing.

Let me guess: that community is replete with “white privilege”.

Preach it!

Covert means you want specifically what your neighbor has. Not that you want to live in a nice house, but you want your neighbor’s house.

Coveting is in the ten commandments. I cite it whenever I speak with anyone Catholic who believes in illegals should get $10,000 to $35,000 from taxpayers.

I live in a very nice neighborhood and it is gated. All my neighbors were not given their houses, but spent years earning them. All of us are married, mostly Christian and conservative. We like being around others with the same values. I would hate to leave.

Brad, I read the Wiki piece. Can you explain further how this has affected MA? I understand it is still an expensive place to live and young people move elsewhere. What else?

Reason for moving there is where the husband and brother-in-law had a machine shop plus it is a nice area by 2 rivers. You see the milky way and a billion stars at night plus a million garter snakes slithering in the spring.

Elk River, Minnesota
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elk_River,_Minnesota

As of the census[2] of 2010, there were 22,974 people, 8,080 households, and 6,050 families residing in the city. The population density was 543.2 inhabitants per square mile (209.7/km2).

This is not much different than outright communism. But coming from Commissar Barack, it is to be expected.

>> And dilute reliably Republican Congressional districts. <<

And with some create gerrymandering it won't take large numbers. Besides the obvious social consequences the real issue is the war on the electoral college.

They have been trying to infiltrate gated communities with Section 8 Hyenas from the projects for many years now. They will eventually get their way, buying foreclosures and building small multifamily housing right next to the McMansions.

White flight will continue. As long as people can vote with their feet, the government will be ruining good, safe neighborhoods filled with hardworking people who will flee as soon as the importation of Section 8 bums begins.

Nope. We can never reach that point as long as the commie 60s Hippies are in control of the nation. And I don’t just mean government - Hollywood, the media, the schools. The 60s hippies run everything now, except business. They just tax the dickens out of business while they ruin everything else.

Defund HUD.

Ha! Stupid Party will cut $1 million from the budget, and then beat their chests for the conservative base on how they're "reining in spending" and "stopping Obama."

try to include everybody and you include nobody

Rush said that people naturally live with the people they identify with. That's why you don't see whites in the inner-cities or blacks out in the country.
