President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that he may end one Obama-era housing rule, Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH).
“At the request of many great Americans who live in the Suburbs, and others, I am studying the AFFH housing regulation that is having a devastating impact on these once thriving Suburban areas. Corrupt Joe Biden wants to make them MUCH WORSE,” he wrote on a Twitter post. “Not fair to homeowners, I may END!”

The Obama administration published the AFFH rule in July 2015 to impose several legal obligations on local governments, including reviewing fair housing based on maps and tools provided by the U.S. Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and submitting plans—known as consolidated plans or ConPlan—every five years.
Trump’s announcement came as the HUD stopped aggressively implementing the AFFH rule.
HUD suspended the obligation of local governments to file consolidated plans under the regulation in January 2018 and withdrew a computer assessment tool required to be used in preparing those plans in May 2018.
In the latest rule (pdf) published on Jan. 7, 2020, HUD changed the definition of AFFH shifting the emphasis from “address[ing] significant disparities in housing” to “advancing fair housing choice within the program participant’s control or influence.”
HUD also gave more flexibility to local governments to identify common barriers to fair housing choice.

This is good! This was posted on FR a few days ago. Someone is listening!
Yes.
I am so sick of tweets about what Trump “might” do.
Do-or do not. There is no try.
Yep.
Stanley Kurtz has come up with exposure of the plan to abolish suburbs being followed up in

Changes zoning from single family to multi family.
Me, too, and my peaceful, polite community, the wealthiest county in the state, has seen an inexplicable rise in the amount of “affordable housing” developments in the last 8 years. There is no way that growth is organic; it’s obviously the result of an agenda being forced on us.
According to what I read it prohibits single family housing.
Was this Obama’s plan to ghettoize the suburbs?
In a word, yes. I’m glad the President evidently intends to consign it to the dustbin of history, and very loudly and repeatedly warn suburban voters that if they elect Biden and company, it will be resurrected and rammed down their throats full force.
Among others. There’s so much to undo from bammy.
Yes, I think Trump is starting on a lot of things that should have been done on Day 1. He has nothing to lose.
I think that was part of it. My guess though is that it was a way to transplant huge numbers of Democrat voters into GOP districts to unseat GOP congressmen.
THANK GOD! THIS CHANGE MUST HAPPEN!!!! IT IS NOT A MAYBE!
So 211 Pine Street, Mayfield (home of Ward and June Cleaver and their two sons) descends to become part of "the hood" but it never is the other way around. In the Jeffersons they had to move somewhere else to be uptown rich people.
I read my childhood home town now has problems such as an always loose pit bull terrifying children, thugs parking broadside in the street to get drivers to get out and give their wallets, drug dealing to the school kids and a growing loose garbage pile problem. When I grew up it looked exactly like Mayfield.
Started going down with a few scattered Section 8s. Decent people left, causing moe Section 8 vacancies.
Trivia fact: What did Beaver's dad actually do? "He works for a "big company" with main offices in New York City; more specifically, it was revealed in Season 3, Episode 19 that Ward works for a trust company under Mr. Anderson. He drives to work in his Plymouth unless June needs the car during the day for a specific errand."---from RetroWeb
Uncle Sugar doesn’t have any money. He’s $27 trillion in debt (more than $80 thousand per person, including those deadbeats). You or your children will pay those bills.
Exactly tweet when you do it. Why say you may. I may take a rocket to the moon but I doubt it.
This needs to be done ASAP.
Yup quotas for suburbs has ruined so many good areas. Let me tell you a lot of people who are black move away from the cities to go into nicer neighborhoods they don’t be followed by that trash. And I don’t want a bunch of redneck meth heads next to me either who are on welfare. It’s not about color it’s about the fact that nobody wants to live next door to violent disruptive trash.
