The president who pledged to transform America has picked his next target in the countrys 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 nations diversity.
The Obama administrations long-awaited new housing regulations came out Wednesday giving the federal government more tools to make sure neighborhoods around the nation arent 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 childs 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.

Basically what this will do is remove our ability to vote with our feet.
Soon, like in the USSR, we’ll need passports and visas to move to a different town.
Then zoom into some of the big cities like Washington DC. Segregation at is very best.
Don't forget Supreme Court judges. I'd also submit that when multi-million dollar houses of sports and movie stars and other elitists go on sale, they'd make excellent rooming houses for society's less fortunate individuals.
On a practical note: has anyone considered the need for public transportation for outlying communities when this great plan happens?
This takes gerrymander to a whole other level. BUT, the numbers just won't add up using the current demographics. The purpose is to dilute the voting power of white suburbs, but there aren't enough minorities to accomplish this with the current demographics. They know this. That is why they are allowing hundreds of thousands of illegals to pour across the borders en masse, and importing thousands more from Somalia, Syria, Sub Saharan Sudan and other ME conflict countries. They are placing these future (D) voters strategically around the country is places that will swing elections and have little or no minorities in them, MT, WY, ID, MN, etc.
The reason the left wants to “diversify” the suburbs is to undermine the conservative vote. Everything the Dems do is designed to increase their power base.
The Dems would like to see total elimination of anti-progressive pols. What better way to do it than to jut move Dem voters into those areas.
Many big cities have such a huge Dem majority that moving a sizable quantity into the Republican 'burbs will not mean much. But it might gain them some more seats in Congress.
I suspect the first thing will make it against the law to refuse a tenant with a Section 8 voucher.
So gov’t is going to take my money, ruin my property value and provide for someone who couldn’t afford to live next door to me to do so?
I remember reading that the inner city communities used to be fairly diverse until 1970’s when radicalized blacks went on pogroms.
Love his collaborations with Asimov!...................
Nightfall (1990), Silverberg and Isaac Asimov expansion of the 1941 novelette “Nightfall” by Asimov
The Positronic Man (1992), Silverberg with Asimov based on the 1976 novelette The Bicentennial Man by Asimov
Child of Time (Gollancz, 1991); US edition, The Ugly Little Boy (Doubleday, 1992), Silverberg with Asimov expansion and revision of the 1958 novelette “Lastborn” by Asimov[1]
Yes, voting trickery is most likely the chief reason. Obama wants to crimp the Republican voter edge in the 'burbs.
Any GOP candidate who is smart enough to latch on to this travesty and makes it a big issue in the campaign, will win in a landslide, IMO.
So let’s see, this was ‘study’ spearheaded by a guy named Castro - who used to be our mayor. During his time as mayor he:
-Fought hard to have 281 North on the north side become a toll road because, “the people on that side of town can afford to pay tolls.”
- insisted that all expansion of public transportation be on the South and West side because, “all the people on the North side can afford cars.”
And now he releases a series of maps, including one of San Antonio, that shows all the poor people living on the South side, and all the rich people living on the North side. And he is shocked, shocked I tell you. It must be racism.
Nothing at all to do with idiot politicians like him making it all but impossible for poor people to live anywhere except where morons like him want them to. But wait - I have an idea. Let’s give billions to idiot liberal politicians so they can fix the mess they created.
Yea, that should work!

Ahh, but they’re not running against Obama. I don’t think Hillary will approve of this.
Does she want public housing surrounding Chappaqua?
..... Notice the type of suburbs that are being targeted. They are being singled out because of the ethnic makeup of the communities.
..... Yup ..... Racism and class envy.

“So govt is going to take my money, ruin my property value and provide for someone who couldnt afford to live next door to me to do so?”
Bingo!
Push hard enough, and people like me won’t be above fleeing the country.
It will cause them both to tank.
Gonna be tough to afford the lawn and pool services if they move in around here. Long way to work too. Don’t forget about the noise restrictions.
The desires of the masses are unimportant to the fuhrers of the diversity cult. All that matters are that the ideal of diversity must be served. Sieg heil!
