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 has struggled under a federal monitor since 2009 to compel the county to build multi-unit affordable housing in the county’s most expensive areas.
Hillary Clinton claims to be a warrior against inequality. But her adopted hometown of Chappaqua is battling HUD’s demands — and that means it’s fighting the man believed to top Hillary’s veep shortlist, HUD Secretary Julian Castro.
The legal war in Hillary’s backyard is a preview. HUD’s soon-to-be-released regulation, in the works since 2013, will compel affluent suburbs across the nation to build more high-density, low-income housing, plus sewers, water lines, bus routes and other changes needed to support it.
Obama’s social engineers will eliminate local zoning requirements 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.
The HUD rule twists the original and laudable intent of the Fair Housing Act of 1968, which is to bar housing discrimination.
The new rule states towns must “affirmatively further” diversity. If low-income minorities want to move to a town but can’t afford it, the town must “provide adequate support to make their choice viable.”
Whether HUD’s plan goes forward will depend largely on how the Supreme Court rules in Texas Dept. of Housing v. Inclusive Communities Project, a lawsuit brought to demand public housing be located in wealthy Dallas suburbs.

Lots of white people can’t afford to live in some of these suburbs either.
The Democrats ruined the inner cities. Now they want to pillage the suburbs!
We’re rapidly moving from loudly objecting mode to actively resisting mode.
Ask yourself - how does the progressive/left government in Washington pay for this and 1000 other social engineering schemes? Its not just taxes.
Do not doubt that the government is using its manipulated zero-interest, printed Federal Reserve fiat money and government debt to change the economic and social landscape of America.
They closed the projects in Chicago and moved the residents downstate to several small towns. The crime rate in these towns has risen with the influx of these new residents. That’s as polite as I can be. I guess he wants to spread the crime as well as the ‘wealth’.
Yeah, I’ve seen the neighborhoods “poor disadvantaged” blacks live in. No thanks. It’d be about like bringing third world messycans to LA and having them throw trash in the streets and used toilet paper on the floor.
“The Democrats ruined the inner cities. Now they want to pillage the suburbs!”
Actually, in Pittsburgh at least, it seems that they want to move them out of the downtown and into the suburbs so that they can buy the wrecked neighborhoods for pennies on the dollar, clean them up, and profit big time selling safe real estate in the city.
I guess the cycle will repeat itself in another 80 years or so (the 80 year cycle of socialism).
This is going to piss off many affluent Dems that are going to watch their school districts go to hell for lack of better terms ... when that happens, the only solution is to increase property tax! It’s happened to a couple of districts in this area.
Start with Martha’s Vineyard.
With the Democrats their ONLY solution is to raise taxes. Regardless the problem that’s their solution.
Like in Detroit where high taxes made people leave town (among other things) the solution was to raise taxes even higher.
Unfortunately if there are too many section 8 residents in an area, formerly nice neighborhoods go ghetto.
Not sure what the term to describe this concept it, but its a form of theft, in that, people’s wealth deteriorates as orooery values decline in areas targeted for section 8.
In a mindless quest for ‘equality’ of outcome the socialist War On Poverty has destroyed America’s cities.
It has turned them into holding pens for special interest voting blocs.
After 50 years politicians finally admit that the $22 trillion dollars spent on the program has been a waste.
The program is a failure.
If they can’t drag the bottom up they will force equality by dragging everyone else down.
That is, everyone else except themselves and their wealthy supporters.
So now they will use taxpayer money to destroy the suburbs and rural areas.
It is the kind of attitude of a person who will steal and loot and burn from a fellow neighbor and maybe even a friend, not because there is a perceived injustice, but because it is an opportunity to upgrade a flat panel TV or get some free booze.
That is the kind of thing that Obama wants to force on communities who do care. So that they can riot and burn and steal the next time there is some incident. NO THANKYOU!
Bilary’s house in Chappaqua, an “old money” town in Westchester at one time had covenants and deed restrictions on it forbidding it’s sale to, as they were called then Negroes, Jews or other “undesirables”. Well here’s a chance for the Lear Jet libs to step up to the plate and put their money where their collective mouths are. I hear the Hamptons are absolutely LOVELY this time of year. How about building Sect 8 housing there in the name of fairness. And when the weather turns cold, subsidize them so they can snowbird it down to West Palm Beach to projects built next to the yacht clubs. Or why not build projects on Martha’s Vineyard? And force the Kennedys to extend open invitations to those residents to their famous clambakes. Hey, it’s all about inclusion, isn’t it?
Do you think they will try this in Beverly Hills or Malibu? Love to see the look on Streisand’s face when she learns she will be living next door to a project! ;)
The World is A Ghetto.
The good looting is in the suburbs. This opens up all sorts of new opportunities for career advancement.
Competent law abiding people must welcome nincompoop thieves.
The upheaval and take-over of Republican districts is something also in the crystal ball of HUD. Gibsmedat dem-voters will of course vote twice or more in the suburb where you will vote twice.
How much more of this sh!t will people take?
