President Trump is attacking Democrats on a new front: suburbia.
"They want to eliminate single-family zoning, bringing who knows into your suburbs," Trump said on a July campaign call.
While it's unclear whether Trump's veiled appeal to racial anxieties will help his poll numbers, the focus on single-family homes has touched on a contentious debate in a growing number of communities. Around the country, cities and states are grappling with how zoning rules have deeply codified racial inequity and exacerbated climate change.

Why, why do we fund these partisans?
Just part of the plot to move everyone (except for the political elites) into urban hives.
Here’s an idea: force everyone in America to live in enormous buildings (sometimes called Arcologies). You could have hundreds of thousands of people living in each structure, riding the same elevators, crammed into convenient mass transit systems. It would be great for the natural environment! We could recirculate the air constantly, and really be up close and personal with all of our thousands and thousands of neighbors.
What could go wrong?
Hmmmm. “Attacking dems... “ How about preserving the American dream. No? Too positive?
“While it’s unclear whether Trump’s veiled appeal to racial anxieties...”
Not racial anxieties at all. It’s more like drug dealers, pimps/whores, gangs, human trafficking, rioting, looting and drive-by shootings that give us anxiety.
we cannot coexist with the marxists... it will never stop with them until we are ground to dusk. we must separate.
Well, duh. The whole point of democrat policies is to make suburban living impossible. Republicans are found in the suburbs. They want to herd us into cities and convert us into reliably dependent democrats, dependent on our government rations of everything from food to information. Suburban life is only possible with plentiful good paying jobs and abundant cheap energy.
All democrat policies are designed to eliminate both of the things necessary to sustain suburban life.
And we're all forced to pay for this dumb, leftist c*nt's salary.
Trump is correct.
They want us to live in hives near mass transportation hubs.
The Left has been working on restrictive zoning changes for decades.
It's called quality of life. and it is open and available to everyone who works for it.
and most of all intolerance of Blight and Crime (drugs, gangs, prostitution, violence, the urban “package”) because, well, you are Selfish, and of course, Racist. Ask a highschool student.
...and don’t forget discrimination. Discrimination was our strength until the Supreme Court banned it.
Where’s my like button?
Why are critical thinkers letting the wacky left get away with conflating (good word in our struggles) discriminatory lending and real estate with single-family houses?
Economically successful of all ethnicity have universally longed to live in a place of their own, away from the barbarity of dictatorships, religious oppression, communal slavery, modern feudalism, etc.
NPR and its cast of young socialists, unburdened by any historical perspective parrot the notion that “Your parents’ and grandparents’ dreams were wrong. What they worked hard their whole live for giving you a better life was a waste.”
I hope someone with enough resources can wake the hell out of what american-loving electorate remains. How many of us have died and how many of the american-hating Bolsheviks have turned 18, arrived by land, sea and air, or have been seething since 2016 when they thought they finally had their moment and were planning America’s funeral with glee.

We can’t have stable,quiet,clean and safe suburbs.If major cities are cesspools then the suburbs must be as well.
“Trump’s veiled appeal to racial anxieties”
The author assumes that good homes, quality education and low crime have a race. So, Lauren, you racist, what race would that be?
“While it’s unclear whether Trump’s veiled appeal to racial anxieties...”
What bullsh**. I have a black family living next to me who is NOT down with any of this insanity being pushed by the left. He is armed to the teeth.
The left is really miscalculating here.
