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.

It's not the first time that the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological liter occupying federal government buildings on the Beltway campus have tried this.
I am posting this again.. it is about a federal court decision that denies the doctrine of qualified immunity that the 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological liter occupying buildings on the Beltway campus think they have due to the aforementioned occupation of federal government buildings.
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
If the punks try force or anything violating our inalienable rights sue the punks occupying HUD buildings.. not HUD itself.
Karma!
It was all well and good, as long as HUD was just screwing with lower middle class, just above the poverty level, trailer trash like me!
Bring in the illegals, bring in the criminals from the urban ghetto’s, add all the legal refugees, and sneer at my inability to pay for the rents increases, since I’m not important.
Use my working wage class employee taxes, sales taxes, and property taxes built into my rent to pay for it!
What could possibly go wrong?
Other than running out of what little money we had....
ROTFLMAO!
That’s what happened in McKinney, too. Diversity is highly overrated.
This is why you shouldn’t live near an apartment complex. After a few years, the attraction of Section 8 vouchers are too tempting for many property owners to resist., Once they accept a few Section 8 residents, it isn’t long before the entire complex goes Section 8 and the surrounding areas are plagued with crime and deteriorating schools.
In other words Whitey has to pay to have his car stolen and his daughters raped.
Build that crap out in rural America, and it will burn.
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.”
Really? According to the Constitution, only Congress may write laws. Don’t see nothing about unelected, unaccountable fascist bureaucrats writing law, except in totalitarian dictatorships like soviet Russia and Nazi Germany.
Communities need to tell the racist Obuma to stuff his illegal rule-making up his commie butt.
This was tried in my former home, Montgomery County, MD. In some ways it was successful because it meant that poor kids could walk to relatively good Monky County public schools. But the proximity to white and black middle class or upper-middle class neighbors caused resentments. While some of the poor neighbors were really the kind of people you’d want for neighbors—educated Russian immigrants, hardworking American divorced mothers, a military widow with kids, some really nice people—a lot of others were the kind who are poor for a reason. The cops were in and out of the neighborhood all the time, the more prosperous neighbors bought alarm systems and guns, and the cops warned us not to go jogging after dark. MS-13 moved into the area. There were rapes and a gang murder. A little disappointing for a for a doctors-and-lawyers community near Washington DC, eh? Glad I’m out. It is sad; I loved Maryland, but they social-engineered it to death.
Attractive for the rental property owners or the tenants?
Aside from your employee pension investment plan, what is your experience as a property manager or renter?
Not that it matters.
Rental property owners and Renters have been screaming about this for years, but since you were so sure it would never happen to you, since you were so smart and secure, you didn’t care to hear about it, or help stop it.
Nobody is left to care about you now.
Clinton did the same thing. Took over a decade to clean that up.
So will he move these folks into his and Hillary’s neighborhoods?
The property owners think it’s a good deal. I don’t know what they thing after their properties become slums.
If you want a preview of that is going to happen look at Memphis, TN moving out poor people from the inner core to the outlying areas. One can create a time lapse map of crime spreading out from downtown Memphis to these suburbs.

Insidious
HUD is trying to push this via a sue and settle in the city of Dallas. If that stands up in court, see it spread nationwide.
Nancy Pelosi’s neighborhood comes to mind. Movin on UP.
