Obama’s last act is to force suburbs to be less white and less wealthy
New York Post ^

Posted on 05/08/2016 9:49:48 AM PDT by detective

Hillary’s rumored running mate, Housing Secretary Julian Castro, is cooking up a scheme to reallocate funding for Section 8 housing to punish suburbs for being too white and too wealthy.

The scheme involves super-sizing vouchers to help urban poor afford higher rents in pricey areas, such as Westchester County, while assigning them government real-estate agents called “mobility counselors” to secure housing in the exurbs.

Castro plans to launch the Section 8 reboot this fall, even though a similar program tested a few years ago in Dallas has been blamed for shifting violent crime to affluent neighborhoods.

It’s all part of a grand scheme to forcibly desegregate inner cities and integrate the outer suburbs.

Anticipating NIMBY resistance, Castro last month threatened to sue suburban landlords for discrimination if they refuse even Section 8 tenants with criminal records. And last year, he implemented a powerful new regulation — “Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” — that pressures all suburban counties taking federal grant money to change local zoning laws to build more low-income housing (landlords of such properties are required to accept Section 8 vouchers).

Obama plans to give Section 8 Housing allowances to high cost suburban areas. Criminals can not be excluded. No background checks for potential tenants are allowed.

This will create a target rich environment for criminals. In most suburban areas people work very hard. They pay extra to live in a safe and secure environment. There homes are often empty and are easy targets for criminals.

That is what we are going to get.

The larger plan is to punish middle class whitey for ...existing.

Time to buy 10 or 20 acres in the country and build something more fortified.

If you live in a good neighborhood and a neighbor decides to rent out their house, the neighbors might have to make an offer the owner can't refuse, buy it and resell it (even at a loss) to someone who will live there.

Obo forgets: Why are there suburbs anyway?

==

Many rental managers/owners simply do not take Section 8 applicants. They don’t want to deal with the paperwork and ‘associated problems’.

==

Some of this was tried 40 to 50 years ago. Nice apartment complexes became low-rent and high crime and other infestations.

It usually doesn’t work out real well. Public transportation for easy access to shopping and medical providers isn’t readily available in many of these places. Town services and schools aren’t set up to provide the services inner city people are used to. A culture where folks call the police if laws are broken is a shock. etc

You’re right Karl.

We should run and hide, hand over the suburbs to illegals.

Thats the spirit. Lift your skirts and run from El Mexicano Grande.

The American people had to have their negro community organizer from Chicago. They got their negro community organizer from Chicago and now we have seen how he governs; i.e. directly favoring the criminal element by putting them in “a target rich environment;”i.e. YOU!

It's all part of a grand scheme to dilute Republican voting blocs. The elites don't give a rat's ass about desegregation or fairness. Follow the money.

Won’t we just get more “white flight” as these plans are implemented? All this will accomplish is pushing nicer suburban areas farther and farther out from the central city.

We already see this in some areas. In the Washington area, for example, the distant formerly rural town of Frederick Maryland, and Frederick County, has experienced substantial suburban development in recent years. I think people have shown they will be willing to move farther and farther out, to avoid areas with, shall we say, sociological problems.

The people who can move will move, and those left behind will tend to be less well off.

Castro is a bottom feeder and should be exposed like dear old Henry Cisneros was Democrats feel that if they pony up some lightweight first generation Mexican then all of the rising population of immigrants from Mexico and central and south America will flock to the left This of course will hurt the blacks more than the shrinking white population

Of the last three middle class neighborhoods I moved into, they started out fine. They were all new. Then the affordable houses were built and sold. Section 8 people got moved into other houses. They now look like trashy places and the cops are constant visitors.

I was writing an article for the paper and I asked the developer at the last neighborhood why he had built small “affordable” homes in an otherwise prized location with one acre wooded lots. He pulled out a stack of paperwork. He said, “If I want to get a subdivision approved, I have to comply with these. So, I build and sell the most expensive houses first as the affordable ones, required for the permits, generally cost me money to sell and nobody wants to a 2,000 square foot house next to a 1,000 square foot house.”

The ultimate goal is to provide so many disincentives for private citizens to be landlords, that government takes over housing, and decides where everyone will live.

They’ve more recently done this in the west Houston suburb areas. Nice neighborhoods and nice apartments crime rates took a big jump.

Thanks, 0blama.

Pretty soon they won't have a choice.
