The HUD rule requires 1,200 cities and counties, which get $3 billion of annual community development block grants from the agency, to rezone neighborhoods along income and racial specifications. Otherwise, the localities will lose these block grants.
“If any aspect of a community’s housing and demographic patterns fails to meet HUD bureaucrats’ expansive definition of ‘fair housing,’ the local government must submit a plan to reorganize the community’s housing practices according to the preferences and priorities of the bureaucrats,” said Lee who attempted to defund the AFFH rule through an amendment on the funding bill last year.

Get rid of the AFFH rule.
Reinterpret? Interpret this.
SCRAP the CRAP.
Sanctuary neighborhood not good.
Better idea : scrap the HUD “block grants”. Legislatively eliminate them. If there’s no federal money, then the feds have no power to impose rules for places to qualify for federal money.
Similarly, scrap federal transportation grants, and lower federal gasoline tax accordingly. No federal money = no federal rule making.
De-fund the federal departments and lay off the people while you’re at it.
“The problem, though, is that the next administration might revert to the Obama approach. The AFFH rule could be re-re-interpreted and then used to ensnare localities that accept federal housing money. There would be no need to sue them. That’s the problem with merely reinterpreting AFFH. The rule should be eliminated.”
Yes, don’t “reinterpret” it, Ben. Surgically remove it altogether.
Looks like the liberals in Northern Westchester dodged a bullet.
This was one of bammy’s hate bombs - a sign of his deep hatred for the country that he hates. His final push to destroy what we appreciate so much: a place to live without crime, rape or savages blowing themselves up. Bammy’s action left me depressed. I was thinking “Now where the f*ck can we go to get away from bammy’s troublemakers?” We left the cities for the suburbs, and they followed us there, raping, killing and stealing. We went farther away and were safe. That enraged bammy, who hates us so much, and he tried to take even that away from us.
Trump, for all his faults, is closing the borders, sending illegals home, and restoring the peace we once had but lost under bammy.
F*ck bammy.

...Dubuque [Iowa, 180 miles from Chicago] was pressured to cede large swathes of its governing authority to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which has forced the city to direct its limited low-income “Section 8” housing resources, not to its own needy citizens, but to voucher-holders from Chicago...
