Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing or AFFH ..... translation .... we will force nice, safe, pretty small towns to take in massive amounts of Section 8 and refugees and RUIN them. All in the name of fairness. Or in the name of watering down Republican votes in those areas.
I wonder if the advocates are so keen on doing this in all the trendy, inner city and suburban enclaves filled with their liberal, hipster supporters. Doubt it.
It's their response that is empty then since it wouldn't have any effect.
I shutter every time I see THEM burning down their slums. I never see new housing being built where the old housing was burnt, leaving me to believe they’re coming to a neighbor near you!
There are no "racial disparities in the suburbs." People of any race that want to live there can and - in fact - do.
The mechanism is in place for what Trump is talking about. All it need now is someone sho will pull the trigger on it..
it was 0bama’s attempt to spread crime and violence from the cities to the suburbs.

How diverse is her neighborhood?
Will section 8 housing be built in upper class suburban neighborhoods or just upper middle, middle, and lower middle class suburban neighborhoods, particularly those with Republican representation? You’ll never see section 8 housing in the middle of Bloomfield Hills or Birmingham or East Grand Rapids, Michigan.
This is so the wealthy can re-claim prim inner-city areas with high land values.
In California, they were pushed out into the desert cities of Lancaster and Palmdale effectively ruining those (once nice) cities. The fights at the high schools are vicious and legendary, like nothing else.
We had rental property out in both cities and managed to sell them just as the neighborhood started to go under, big time under...
Activist complaints, like flak, just means you’re over the target!!
Only liberals would object to eliminating a regulation that never took effect anyway. And then complain that eliminating it was a “political stunt.” Since it’s not being enforced, what was the point of enacting it except as a political stunt?
Well, if it's blatant racial politics for Trump to roll back Obama's policy, it means that Obama used blatant racist politics to impose the policy in the first place.
to seek out investors/slum lords,
offer tax breaks to the slum lords
and finance their own decline by bringing in Democrat voters.
“in order to obtain funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development.”
The only answer is to completely eliminate the program the provides these funds and much of the rest of government spending.
Small govt is the only way to prevent tyranny.
When hundreds of billions of govt money are available for vested interests (on both sides ) to spend, then lobbyists and other sharks will push over the common people.

“Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing” - bringing the hood to you, as Rush says.
“President Donald Trump’s pledge to roll back an Obama-era regulation designed to eliminate racial disparities in the suburbs is drawing harsh criticism from fair housing advocates, who label it a blatant attempt to play racial politics and appeal to white voters in the final weeks before the election.”
As opposed to the blatant attempt by the Rats to appeal to black voters. You’re only allowed to do stuff that benefits blacks, white interests must always be fought against.
That’s so strange, why would “white voters” be against government funded diversity by force?
Here’s how you do it. Go to school. Learn how to read. Get a STEM degree (or go to a trade skill). Get a well-paid job. Save your money. Establish your credit safely. Pay for a house of your choice in the neighborhood of your choice. It’s kind of that easy... I know. I grew up in substandard military housing and trailer parks.
Fair housing groups slam Trump
The reason is irrelevant.
