In the name of “equity,” the Biden administration and state Democrats have declared war on the suburbs:
The Biden administration and Democrats in New York, Connecticut and other states are fighting local zoning laws in order to build high-rise apartment buildings with “affordable” units in tree-lined, single-family neighborhoods. All in the name of equity, meaning everyone can live in a tranquil suburb, whether they’ve earned the money to pay for it or not.
The Biden administration announced Jan. 19 that it will require all towns across the U.S. to submit “Equity Plans” showing how they will make it possible for low-income people to live there by providing affordable housing, transportation and other resources.
Towns that don’t meet the cookie-cutter requirement for economic diversity will lose federal funding.

Sounds a bit like a former VP threatening foreign aid to a country if they didn't do what he asked.
But, I'm taking bets that these "building projects" will be built in areas that have a strong Republican voting base. Outside 8-10 counties in NY, to include 4 of the NYC burroughs, NY is a pretty Republican state. It's the big cities that dominate the voting in the state. If I'm not mistaken, most of the seat held on Long Island, Nassau & Suffoulk counties, went to Republicans. And Nassau had a Democrat as the County Executive who was very well liked by folks on both sides. Especially when it came to letting the cops do their jobs, but she was bounced out, too.
None will be built in the Chappaqua, Bedford Hills, Old Brookville, or all the more affluent WHITER THAN WHITE towns in SW Connecticut.

"Democrats Pass Laws to Destroy God given Freedoms"
Spreading crime everywhere.
I will shoot to kill anyone who breaks into my house or attempts to steal my car from my driveway
Put it in their (RAT politicians) back yards first.
They want to turn the suburbs into war zones like the concrete jungles that the dems already have an iron grip on. Flooding the suburbs with blacks is essentially ethnic cleansing.
If builders want to build high rises and towns want to regulate zoning I have no problem with it, BUT if the govt is building and/or requiring “affordable housing” it will not turn out well.
“high-rise apartment buildings with “affordable” units”
Sure is a fancy way to say future crime ridden ghetto.
All about control. Progressives have read studies showing denser populations are more prone to support progressive policies.
Moving the welfare crowd to opportunity rich environments to steal, rape, murder.
I lived in one of those “Tranquil suburban” neighborhoods as a kid. (late 1950s) Then they built “The Projects” half a block from our house. We moved about a year later out to the San Gabriel Valley. I joined the army in ‘66 and have not lived in CA since.
Maywood California. What’s it like now?
People worked hard to be able to move to the more peaceful and pretty suburbs. It wasn’t always easy because it likely increased their commute to work. I’ve heard of some ridiculous commute times in order for the children to grow up in a nice neighborhood. But Biden wants to bring the urban problems to the suburbs.
Peter King (R) held the north shore Nassau County seat for 20 years.
A Democrat took the seat after King retired, and George Santos just won the seat back.

It’s funny you mention NY. Last spring I was driving south through Sullivan county on Rt. 97 and saw three buses headed north. These things looked brand new, perfectly clean, had tinted out windows, and the lettering had been turned off at the top of the first two. The third was still lit up and read “American Dream.”
That can’t be good.
This is straight from the wicked heart of Obama. He began to implement this very strategy late in his second term. The idea was/is to destroy conservative pockets in America.
There is no doubt the evil Democrats are working feverishly to divide Americans and balkanize us. Black anthem, anyone?
Anyone ever heard of the concept of “15 minute Cities”? If you know who came up with that concept, you’ll know exactly why Biden is pushing it.
Ditto that!!!
Why can't they see how bad that can turn out for even them? History is replete with these totalitarians getting their just dues. What power do they have to avoid such? Don't tell me nukes. No one is untouchable as nuclear proliferation grows. There will come a time when some generals say enough.
Or there will come a time when the Swamp Rats risk all.
