I suspect until Friday few Americans were even aware that AFFH regulations existed. This was a stealth move by the Obama administration to have the Federal Government takeover the governing of local communities.

keep spreading the word.

here is the video link to Mark Levin’s interview of Stanley Kurtz last night.

They spent the entire hour discussing the ramifications of AFFH.

War on the Suburbs: How HUD’s Housing Policies Became a Weapon for Social Change

By Sam Jacobs

There are few things more synonymous with the American way of life than the suburbs. While certainly not without problems, the suburbs have been home to middle class Americans since the end of World War 2, and even before. But the suburbs are under attack from certain elements of the left as a source of social inequality and (what else?) “white privilege” and “white supremacy.”

If you are alarmed by this article, that’s a good thing. Because these elements of the American left seek nothing more than the total destruction of your way of life, from the people who live in your communities to the types of houses that you live in to the places where you will be allowed to shop and how you get from one place to another.

The policy is called Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH), but beyond this specific HUD policy, there’s a philosophical and political attack on suburbs that goes well in excess of any single policy. There is, without mincing words, a War on the Suburbs in America. It is a war not against a geographical location or a type of housing or community, but an attack on a way of life.

This was a stealth move by the Obama administration “

And this nation killing wrecking ball will remain stealth until after the election. There are so many great things Trump has done that he gets no credit for. The Never Trump a-holes helping the Rats are fine with the destruction of the middle class is fine as long as they can get rid that bad man Mr. Trump. Every time l see one of those lying Lincoln Project ads it’s all l can do not to rip TV off the wall.

“””It was essentially a Federal Homeowner’s Association..............”””


According to Levin and Kurtz, AFFH goes far beyond housing. It would override transportation, zoning, taxation, commerce, schooling, and other decisions now made by cities and counties.

I had heard about this, but I didn’t realize this was still in effect.

Go TRUMP!

Carson on scrapping Obama-era housing rule: We don’t need layers of bureaucracy telling Americans how to live

HUD Secretary Ben Carson joins Jason Chaffetz with insight on ‘Hannity.’

This is an excellent move—but it will only last as long as Republicans (and steadfast conservatives at that) control the White House.

Therefore it is _very_ important that exurban and rural communities do not fund any extensions of city water or water treatment.

Don’t do it.

Without those extensions it is impossible for the lefties to create slums in your area—it is too expensive.

We should never get over-confident.

Biden’s Housing Plan Would Destroy Suburban Communities
He wants to push people into cities.

Louis DeBroux · Jul. 8, 2020

At a time when a growing number of Americans are fleeing crowded cities, Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden is quietly working to force them back in. He’s working to push suburbanites back into the city as well.

As the COVID-19 pandemic has unfolded, countless Americans in places like New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago have come to the realization that cramming millions of people into a small geographical area, living on top of one another, and traveling to and from work packed in long metal tubes may not be the glamorous existence they once believed.

In fact, many are moving to the suburbs, which they mocked up until only recently. This exodus has only accelerated as Americans have watched in shock and horror as violent mobs literally take over sections of cities, shut down traffic, set businesses ablaze, drag people from their cars and beat them, march through neighborhoods threatening to harm people, and, in a growing number of cases, kill innocent people whose only offense was being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Even worse, they’ve seen Democrat elected officials respond with either apathy or praise for the criminals.

But Joe Biden not only wants to block the exodus to the suburbs, he wants to annex the suburbs back into the cities using taxes and regulations. The mechanism for doing that is full enforcement and expansion of Barack Obama’s radical Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) regulation, which would effectively end single-family-home neighborhoods.

This is part of what Biden was referring to when he recently tweeted, “We’re going to beat Donald Trump. And when we do, we won’t just rebuild this nation — we’ll transform it.”

why did it take 3 years?


1. government bureaucracy
2. Carson needed time to develop a legal strategy to rebut the almost certain challenge by some Obama Judge.
3. those are a couple of reasons—likely more.

the legal strategy is: the Constitution does not allow the federal government to do it in the first place. Trump could have done this 3 years ago on this basis.
