We are not being served by the Democrat Party, of course, but the Republican Party is complicit in shoving the edicts by the central socialist government down our throats. Copy the YES votes and help defeat these drooling traitorous dogs.

The DC party strikes again.

As always, follow the money.

May Dr Ward use this data in her quest to become the nominee for AZ. Shame on Sen. McCain...

There shouldn’t even be a department of housing and urban development.

Every one of these allegedly Republican Senators needs to be Cantorized.

The 'Elites' of both parties want people to be crammed together in huge megalopolis cities that will allow for better control of the peons. Like Chicago's infamous Cabrini Green, now demolished. But they will try a new tact: GET ALL WHITE PEOPLE IN THERE.........................

The (xx%) come from Mark Levin’s Cruz super PAC, the Conservative Review, so take them with a grain of salt.

We also have “R” down-ballot candidates who just can’t say ‘No’ to Federal dollars.

Here in DC, large swaths of the city are gentrifying rapidly. Many of the democrat pols, naturally, are in slum preservation mode, because if neighborhoods improve enough, the residents might stop voting for the racketeers based on the color of their skin. But market forces are inexorable. Neighborhoods are cleaning up, and low income people are being forced out.

The question becomes, where are they supposed to go? Nowhere is it written that central cities must be dumping grounds and social quarantine sites. Central cities can actually be extremely convenient and attractive places to live if the yuppie to junkie ratio is within reasonable tolerances.

The social burden needs to be spread. But when we come to the suburbs, many are zoned against low and moderate income housing. I dislike the application of a big federal sledgehammer as much as anyone here, but we still need a solution.

My own view is, let the market decide -- apart, of course, from development that would imperil preservation of the historic district in which I reside. In your neighborhood, however, if a developer wants to build duplexes and small apartment complexes on your cul de sac, he should be able to. If a developer wants to build a large apartment complex in your tract of single family homes, in order to take advantage of your area's superior schools and other services, he can. If your neighbor wants to rent his place to three Asian families, he should be able to. If people are tripling and quadrupling up and turning single family homes into boarding houses, they should be permitted to do so. And if the six Mexican laborers who are bunking next door need to use the front yard as a parking lot, that's ok too. In your neighborhood, of course; not in mine.

Of course, some will object to these market-driven solutions. If you object, however, don't think you can just send the poor back my way; we are gentrified here, and the poor can't afford my neighborhood any longer. Yours is probably a cheaper option, and closer to the service jobs they need as well. So if you will not allow the market to sort things out, you need to be willing to participate in a planning process that makes reasonable provision for mixed income housing in appropriate locations.

I have a theory why the GOP is allied with HUD on this War on the Suburbs. They are afraid of Article V. We already know our vote matters little when it comes to the mastermind overlords infesting the District of Corruption . Why wouldn't they be afraid of the one thing that can bring their lying-looting comfy scam to a screeching halt? They are trying to hand back control of the state houses to the RATS to make sure the gravy train is not stopped.

[HarleyLady27]

Maybe I’m looking at this wrong, but the way I see it is to put these kind of people in our suburbs are a way to drop down the Republican voter, destroy property values...

It isn’t going to work, the elite people that live in these types of neighborhoods are not going to permit any thing but what they are used to, there will be no cross over action, unless the low housing people are told to shape up or ship out...most of these places are ‘gated’ communities that have rules to live by, like lawn care, no junk cars, no out door clothes lines, no kids playing in the roads, no loud music, and if you have a ‘party’ it has to be low keyed and quite and there are times when it is quite, like at night...

Barky comes from Kenya where they live in huts, their yards are dirt and mud, and they cook on a bon fire...none of this will ever be allowed...

He isn’t going to be getting this through the House or the Senate, and his EO’s are in the paper shreader anyway, so what difference should it make...

Thank you for posting this!

[Pinkbell]

Rob Portman voted yes, eh? Too bad his primary opponent was not well known.

[NorthMountain]

Pleased to see Capito vote “NO” ... it’s a rare sane vote from her. Scumbag Manchin is up for re-election in 2018.
