Democrats on the brink of canceling suburbia

A Wall Street Journal editorial from July 26 began like this:

The Trump Administration on Thursday [July 22] rolled back an Obama regulation that federalized local zoning and land-use policies[.] ... The 1968 Fair Housing Act requires recipients of federal block grants to certify that they "affirmatively further fair housing [AFFH]." In 1996 the Clinton Administration issued 170 pages of guidance interpreting those four words, and lawsuits proliferated.

This sounds like good news, and it certainly is, but if Joe Biden is elected, he will resurrect and seek to finish off the assault on our suburbs that President Obama initiated in 2009.

This past Sunday on FOX TV's Life, Liberty & Levin, Mark Levin made an invaluable contribution to the political landscape by interviewing Stanley Kurtz and raising awareness of this issue, which has been lying dormant in the weeds since President Trump assumed office.

I watched the explanation that occured on LLL the other day. Not a shock to some folks to know 'they' want this country to look like the high density housing of the ussr high rises in the not to distant past.

No, but they may be on the way to starting CWII which they will lose.

Obama did this rule in 2015. Have the suburbs been going to hell with low income housing since then?

If you want to win the public arguement, you need to simplify ths message and give examples of how it will crush single family homes and destroy local neighborhoods or increase crime and reduce quality of life. This article is difficult to digest unless folks are already familiar with the topic.

My father grew up in Gary Indiana during the depression - it was still a nice neighborhood then - not anymore.

The neighborhood I grew up in Post WW2, is a Latin American colony now.

The neighborhood I currently live in, is one of the 'most multicultural' districts in America; not a bad place, but the section 8s somewhat ruin holidays playing Hip Hop music you can hear blocks away -

that being said, the house has more than doubled in value the last 30 years

Still, there are other good places to live in the US; small towns if things get really bad.

How does the federal government have any constitutional authority over housing? Eliminate the HUD. Its beneficiaries will never vote Republican anyway.

I know of some neighborhoods that had increased crimes, houses robbed, etc when Section 8 housing was introduced into their area.

This is what Obama was doing against Westchester County in NY. They fought back. Moral: don’t take Fed money.

There is a way that this can be done — all those who advocate this be told thusly: the first section 8 housing will be built in your neighborhoods.

That’s right it will be built in Malibu, the Hamptons, Beverly Hills, Martha’s Vineyard, Hollywood; wherever the rich leftists live the housing will be built in their neighborhoods.

When that is done we can talk.

On the flip side, suburbia is prepared to cancel dems if they don't cease their push towards tyranny.

They want the middle class as destitute as they made the poor in this country so we will all be looking for them to save us.

Or better yet, just say that Democrats want to turn all of America into a ghetto.
