To ensure that "every American is able to choose to live in a community they feel proud of," HUD has published a new fair-housing regulation intended to give people access to better neighborhoods than the ones they currently live in.
The goal is to help communities understand "fair housing barriers" and "establish clear goals" for "improving integrated living patterns and overcoming historic patterns of segregation."
“This proposed rule represents a 21st century approach to fair housing, a step forward to ensuring that every American is able to choose to live in a community they feel proud of – where they have a fair shot at reaching their full potential in life,” said HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan.
“For the first time ever," Donovan added, "HUD will provide data for every neighborhood in the country, detailing the access African American, Latino, Asian, and other communities have to local assets, including schools, jobs, transportation, and other important neighborhood resources that can play a role in helping people move into the middle class."

I guess that’s another one of those “rights” found in the ever-growing penumbra of the Constitution.
In other words, rich white neighborhoods need to get ready -- they're about to be assaulted by a bunch of Communist "fair" housing activists who will push to put low cost housing everywhere.
0bama wants Trayvon’s in EVERY neighborhood. And whatever you do, DON’T FIGHT BACK!!!
Until they come up to the “zoning laws” of the local areas.
Disregard that, DO fight back.
I know this will be an interesting discussion but I have to get back to work. Will check in after 5!
They won’t be happy until we stop trying to protect ourselves.
Good luck with that.
Wealth redistribution zones.
they never learn... all this does is drag the middle class neighborhoods into lower/poorer class status...
A “neighborhood they can be proud of” is usually what their current neighborhoods were before they “diversified.”
Oh well, the bussing starts soon..
The idea that anyone has some sort of mystical right for Government to place them in somebody else's neighborhood, by misuse (usurpation) of power, would have been laughed at in any saner age in American history.
This is really the equivalent of the Bolshevik's resettling street people in the homes of middle class Russians in the early days of Bolshevik Communism. It is even less justifiable in reason than the quartering of troops in Boston homes in the 1770s.

Sounds like a great idea!
The first neighborhood that HUD should open up is Georgetown in Washington.
No more China Towns, New Orleans Jazz will be scattered, Nashville will include chanting monks and yodelers by regulation... hmmm, wonder how many hillbilly types will be required in posh areas? Will .gov’s exempt themselves? So many questions..... What a loss to the REAL America.....

There fixed it.
(PS: I had another word in mined, but I like being around here)
When I lived in Lakeland, FL HUD had placed several “diverse” tenants in a couple of houses on the block over. Crapped that street up in no time. Every time the police had to come out in the middle of the night, they whined about racism. Eventually, after having a very negative effect on the street (the other residents of which had jobs and slept at night) they got removed.
The original do gooder theory behind this was that if you put trash in a nice neighborhood, the trash would emulate their neighbors and magically become (try not to spit all over your keyboard) work ethic oriented middle class people.
Much like the Great Society notion that cash benefits instead of help “in kind” would teach 3rd generation welfare recipients how to manage and learn the value of money. What a laugh. No one learns the value of money when everything they spend comes from someone else. Especially politicians and welfare mommies (and some of my extended relatives, grrr).
For those of you who fled to new subdivisions in outer-ring suburbs with good school districts....
IT’S NOT FAIR! IT’S NOT FAIR! IT’S NOT FAIR! IT’S NOT FAIR!
Section 8 coming soon to the house next to you.
