Obama’s last act is to force suburbs to be less white and less wealthy
New York Post ^

Posted on 05/08/2016 9:49:48 AM PDT by detective

Hillary’s rumored running mate, Housing Secretary Julian Castro, is cooking up a scheme to reallocate funding for Section 8 housing to punish suburbs for being too white and too wealthy.

The scheme involves super-sizing vouchers to help urban poor afford higher rents in pricey areas, such as Westchester County, while assigning them government real-estate agents called “mobility counselors” to secure housing in the exurbs.

Castro plans to launch the Section 8 reboot this fall, even though a similar program tested a few years ago in Dallas has been blamed for shifting violent crime to affluent neighborhoods.

It’s all part of a grand scheme to forcibly desegregate inner cities and integrate the outer suburbs.

Anticipating NIMBY resistance, Castro last month threatened to sue suburban landlords for discrimination if they refuse even Section 8 tenants with criminal records. And last year, he implemented a powerful new regulation — “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” — that pressures all suburban counties taking federal grant money to change local zoning laws to build more low-income housing (landlords of such properties are required to accept Section 8 vouchers).

Just think how bad it would be if the Republicans didn’t control the purse strings.

LESS wealthy??????

Ohhhhh, he’s DONE that! Yes, he could. I could cry when I think of how we lived well on one salary until the month he got elected. How our well being has gone straight downhill ever since, all we lost.

Town services and schools aren't set up to provide the services inner city people are used to.

For many inner city dwellers, moving to an affluent suburb is a quick way for them or their children to end up in jail. Law enforcement is dramatically different than what they are used to.

You bet. Thank goodness we have a GOP Congress to stand up for us!

So these folks will be placed in middle class neighborhoods. No way will they be placed in Mansion neighborhoods.

We, the middle class, are sitting ducks.

I hope Trump brings this up and makes sure to say, Hillary and her partner allocate section 8 housing in their neighborhood first, then we’ll talk.

My friends moved out of the city to a commuter area outside LA when they were starting their family. The tiny new houses were sweet, and everyone was from somewhere else but at the same phase of life. New elementary school, the families came together and formed a vibrant happy working class community. Kids playing outside, BBQs. Racially mixed.

Then Los Angeles started moving poor people in from the city for free.

Suddenly the neighborhood was full of crack cocaine and crime. There were shootings. It became a horrible place to live and the housing values were so low my friends were paying a fortune for a worthless house. They packed up and moved away leaving the keys in the door. Their credit was back to normal 5 years after that but the area today is known as a den of urban filth and decay.

Responding individually is not going to solve the whole problem, but it could save your neighborhood. When the next census comes, talk to your neighbors. Since self identification is fluid nowadays, white people can be black, men can be women, race is now fluid also. Your neighbors could just have discovered their American Indian, Black, Hispanic heritage on Ancestry.com and boom- they are a new race.You would not even have to prove it. I would think it would only take about 4 families in one neighborhood to change the statistics. Think about all of us deliberately screwing up the census by talking to 3-4 families in our neighborhood, and they talk to 3-4 families by paying it forward.

You’ll see many more communities zone residential houses for neighborhood level “nursing homes”, four bedrooms turned into three bedrooms for those bedridden and 1 room for the live in caregivers who rotate. Then it counts as 3 permanent poor residents, along with providing some caregiving jobs.
You’ll see far more apartment complexes zone for over 50 individuals on limited income. They don’t commit crime, don’t put a load on the school system, and they count as poor.

As the negroes and barbarians move in, whites will move further out and divest from those communities.

Civilized people will never be forced to put up with dysfunction and sloth.

Several cities, including in Texas, passed ordinances that said you can’t engage in income discrimination - so when you ask for proof of income to pay the rent, you can’t refuse to count SSDI, welfare, Section 8 housing.
The only stumbling blocks are:
* they can’t MAKE property 8 owners sign up for a program, just as they can’t make you sign up for childcare voucher acceptance, so the ordinance only counts if you join their program
* credit scores can still be used as a screening standard if applied across the board, and that’s still a factor
* saying you can’t filter out people based on criminal records WILL lead to lawsuits because it is necessary for the safety of the other tenants

I think you’ll see more approvals for assisted homes for the mentally retarded, assisted living in large 4-6 bedroom houses and apartments rented to the elderly living off only SSDI to get around these pushes.

They have done stings in Seattle, where they call and ask landlords questions- do you accept Section 8? The landlord says no, and now the landlord faces a fine. What a smart landlord should do is make a website for their rental with pictures, etc. The person interested in the rental fills out the application, and mails it to the landlord. You can tell if the person is illiterate by a hand filled out application rather than a computer application with spell check. At that point, no discussion has been made. Everything is via the mail or computer. The landlord is then free to background check a person, determine their credit rating a job history. You can probably weed out the section 8 types, because they are either not working or have a low wage job. After that, then set up a face to face interview.
It would be very difficult to prove discrimination when the landlord does not make incriminating statements, and you cannot find out who applied for the rental.

Isn’t a section a quarter mile square = 160 acres?

Anticipating NIMBY resistance

What a disingenuous way to frame opposition to forced government social experimentation.

F the press and up the NOYFB resistance to leftist bureaucratic crap.

Milton Friedman's Four Ways To Spend Money (the FOURTH one is the Government's way)

1. You can spend your own money on yourself. When you do that, why then you really watch out what you’re doing, and you try to get the most for your money.

2. You can spend your own money on somebody else. For example, I buy a birthday present for someone. Well, then I’m not so careful about the content of the present, but I’m very careful about the cost.

3. I can spend somebody else’s money on myself. And if I spend somebody else’s money on myself, then I’m sure going to have a good lunch!

4. I can spend somebody else’s money on somebody else. And if I spend somebody else’s money on somebody else, I’m not concerned about how much it is, and I’m not concerned about what I get.

They give them a nice car to go along with a nice new house that’s off the bus lines.
