War on the Suburbs: How HUD's Housing Policies Became a Weapon for Social Change
Ammo.com ^ | 8/14/2020 | Sam Jacobs

There are few things more synonymous with the American way of life than the suburbs. While certainly not without problems, the suburbs have been home to middle class Americans since the end of World War 2, and even before. But the suburbs are under attack from certain elements of the left as a source of social inequality and (what else?) “white privilege” and “white supremacy.”

If you are alarmed by this article, that’s a good thing. Because these elements of the American left seek nothing more than the total destruction of your way of life, from the people who live in your communities to the types of houses that you live in to the places where you will be allowed to shop and how you get from one place to another.

The policy is called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), but beyond this specific HUD policy, there’s a philosophical and political attack on suburbs that goes well in excess of any single policy. There is, without mincing words, a War on the Suburbs in America. It is a war not against a geographical location or a type of housing or community, but an attack on a way of life.

That’s why off the grid/self reliance living is so popular.

I thought President Trump said that he would not allow this to happen. The fact that something called "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing" even exists is shocking. President Trump's HUD secretary is Ben Carson. I would like to see Tucker or Laura grill him about this. I wonder if President Trump is even aware of this. The tentacles of the Deep State are relentless. Cut one off and two grow back.

So that’s our choice? Accept HUD dictates or live like a 19th century pioneer? No thanks. I want the comfy 21st century lifestyle I earned for myself.

To paraphrase “...comfy 21st century lifestyle I earned for myself....”. ‘You didn’t earn that. Nah, somebody else earned that.’ LOL!

Urban density is the number one cause of the pandemic and disease spread so covid 19 should encourage low density suburbia over high density urban areas

I have lived in the greater Tri-State Metropolis,the greater Southern California sprawl, Portland, Oregon, with all to say:
“I support the opinion behind leaving the grand canyons of cement and steel to those who have always moved in and made a disaster of it!”

Elitist sneering at middle class life in the suburbs has been around for a long time. “Pleasant Valley Sunday” by the Monkees dates back to 1967 and was not the only song of that era to put down the suburban lifestyle.

HUD exists to urbanize suburban and rural areas.

The Democrats want to end the inner city riots by exporting them to the suburbs.

I am thinking obama’s Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) had little impact on Martha’s Vineyard.

I saw two thugs today that had no belt on and their asses showing. This was hours apart and they weren’t together. Just two separate thugs doing what thugs do. Seems subhumans would have most past this trend by now. And they wonder why no one wants to hire their sorry asses. Act like a freakin’ human and wear a belt.
