Obama unveils plan and rules to 'diversify' white suburbs

The president who pledged to transform America has picked his next target in the country’s makeover: the suburbs.

Obama the Utopian hopes to use both the federal Treasury and the federal club to coax Americans into neighborhoods planned by bureaucrats to perfectly reflect the nation’s diversity.

The Obama administration’s long-awaited new housing regulations came out Wednesday giving the federal government more tools to make sure neighborhoods around the nation aren’t developed and populated in racially segregated manners.

The rules, issued under the Department of Housing and Urban Development, are supposed to put a stop to “segregated living patterns” and “racially or ethnically concentrated areas of poverty,” HUD said, the Hill reported.

How it works is HUD will give local communities information on how to prevent and address perceived segregated housing areas, and offer grant money to address the situation. The grant money could then be used to help diversity the neighborhoods and “expand equal access to opportunity for all Americans,” HUD said, the Hill reported.

HUD Secretary Julian Castro put it this way: “Unfortunately, too many Americans find their dreams limited by where they come from, and a ZIP code should never determine a child’s future. This important step will give local leaders the tools they need to provide all Americans with access to safe, affordable housing in communities that are rich with opportunity.”

Critics, however, call the carrot-stick trade-off of government regulations for grant dollars a prime example of federal overreach.

So, is he for or against so-called ‘gentrification’ when successful people-of-less-color try to move back into and revitalize areas of cities that are currently pushing 90% monochrome-dark?

It works both ways.

Not that he cares, but freedom of association and assembly seem to have been rights in the past. Now it’s just “Meh”

Does he really think blacks want to live with whites? There are exceptions, but generally, we have natural inclinations to be with our own kind.

He’s determined to start a race war.

I am not interested in living next to one of Obama’s sons, and neither is he.

I can’t wait till they start putting up Section 8 housing in the upper middle-class gated community where I live.

FUBO!

This is liberal, socialist overreach. Obama overreach. Another overreach NOT approved by Congress or the American people.

The next REAL AMERICAN PRESIDENT will have a lot to clean up.

Because school busing worked so well in the 1960s.

People work hard to get away from the “diversity” crimes and slums. Now Obama wants to attack their success for being able to move away.

How about those “diversity” people setting on their azzes drawing checks working hard to get out of the slums?

All you had to do was read Stanley Kurtz’s book, Spreading the Wealth, to see this was coming down the pike.

“access to safe, affordable housing”

If they’re housing is not safe, it’s because THEY make it unsafe!
